Clang v9.0.0 does not support ubuntu20.04 for cross-compiling

[who-biz]

In our depends build system, Clang v9.0.0 is not compatible with ubuntu 20.04 host. Presently discerning if this is the cause of our other issues in macOS cross-compilation.

I've locally pulled in llvm 13.0.0, and this breaks boost compilation, due to a miscalculated "GCC" version (clang is apparently masquerading as GCC), which adds -fcoalesce-templates to boost's build config for darwin.

I was able to move past this error (which others have encountered, see: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/4333), by manually modifiying in contrib/depends/work/build/x86_64-apple-darwin11/1_64_0/tools/build/src/tools/darwin.jam and removing this option.

We need a patch for boost written into depends scripts.

This is not yet resolved upstream at XMR, from looks of it. Zcash has, resolved it, however. Ultimately, they and Bitcoin use depends build systems. Monero’s seems a less-maintained fork of these.
