Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Mongodb in cosmic doesn't build with boost1.67[1].

  This bug prevents mongodb from being SRUed[4]. The patch in the
  upstream PR[2] for boost1.67 was taken for the disco boost1.67
  package[3] to fix this for disco.

  [Test Case]
  The test case if building mongodb in cosmic. Without this update to boost1.67, mongodb will fail to build due to a test failure.

  
  [Regression Potential]
  This is already fixing a regression from boost1.67. Upstream isn't yet convinced that the previous behavior is correct, but abandoned the discussion in the PR[2], which remains open.

  [Other Info]
  Both the boost1.67 PR[2] and the mongodb bug[1] remain open upstream, but we have adopted the boost1.67 fix from that PR for disco onwards. If mongodb comes up with a change of their own, it will be under their new license[5], which might be an issue for us.

  [Original Description]

  This 1.67 change broke a specific mongodb test[1], and is one of the
  remaining mongodb FTBFS issues in Cosmic.

  Upstream PR[2] is still open.

  Disco has[3] the patch since boost1.67 (1.67.0-9).
