Our current minimum supported Boost is 1.73.0. However, when compiling with Boost 1.74.0 (Debian Stable), using Clang 18, compilation fails with:

Work around this issue by ignoring this diagnostic for this include. I did attempt to just downgrade the error into a warning, but that did not seem to work. Not a huge fan of inline warning/issue suppression, but this seems like the cleanest thing to do here (and easy to backport to 28.x).
Can be tested with something like:
docker pull debian:bookworm
docker run -it debian:bookworm /bin/bash
apt update && apt install ccache cmake git pkg-config libboost-dev libevent-dev python3 libsqlite3-dev lsb-release wget software-properties-common gnupg
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh
chmod +x llvm.sh
./llvm.sh 18
cd bitcoin
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang-18 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-18
cmake --build build -j17
