OpenROAD fails to build

[Bee-Mar]

Nixpkgs version

unstable

Describe the bug

OpenROAD fails to build using the most recent commit associated with the Nix build recipe, but the prior commit works.

Fails: 080f7e9
Works: a846ccc

Steps to reproduce

In my case, I'm using Devbox to manage the project environment and the steps to reproduce are below. This is not a Devbox issue as I can also reproduce the issue with other Nix-centric tools.

nix-shell -p devbox
mkdir -p /tmp/openroad/{works,fails}
cd /tmp/openroad

# manually copy the works/devbox.json from below into the "works" directory
# manually copy the fails/devbox.json from below into the "fails" directory

devbox install -c works
devbox install -c fails

works/devbox.json

{
  "packages": [
    "github:nixos/nixpkgs/a846ccc8806b0c12d9c73b30815e67e5d3621bd3#openroad"
  ]
}

fails/devbox.json

{
  "packages": [
    "github:nixos/nixpkgs/080f7e9b06ff531439ff78385f97f5e0d8fa2bfa#openroad"
  ]
}

The build process should fail for the fails/devbox.json and the build process should succeed for the works/devbox.json

Expected behaviour

The build process should fail for the fails/devbox.json and the build process should succeed for the works/devbox.json

What's the error message?

Nevermind, Hydra can reproduce the failure.

Great! I assumed it was a boost versioning issue since that was the only change between the commits I referenced. Do you still want/need the error message?

In the upgrade #386307 I also pinned to 1.86
