Added a new section in INSTALL.md for known issues which discusses conditions for the issue in #590.

I tried on Ubuntu 16.04 with Boost 1.68, compiled locally with gcc 5.4 (not from PPA), and the problem persists. It appears that the compiler matters, too.

I think it's better to document this issue in the readme or install notes under "Known Issues" than to force users to upgrade Boost because Ubuntu 16.04 with Boost 1.58 is still widely used. A CMake warning might be ok, too.

@chrisbeall interesting. What would be the minimum supported compiler for GCC? We use GCC 5.5.0 in the CI and but turn off march_native.

@varunagrawal varunagrawal changed the title Minimum Boost version to 1.67 Known Issues Section Jan 20, 2021

Not ideal, but this is probably a good deal: reporting the known issues which we have not been able to fix or would require users to upgrade to fix a bug in a part (serialization) that they may not need at all for their projects.

I defer the PR approval to Frank or other core developers, since this is more a "policy" than a technical discussion.

@jlblancoc I updated the PR to only have the known issues section. Does it look good to you?
