Is this the right place to submit this?

• This is not a security vulnerability or a crashing bug
• This is not a question about how to use OpenBMC
• This is not a bug in an OpenBMC fork or a bug in code still under code review.

Bug Description

Building with --buildtype=debug results in errors related to boost beast and boost intrusive modules

On this sha1, I just tried a debug build with:

meson builddebug --buildtype=debug && meson compile -C builddebug

And for me it works just fine, and on CI it's working just fine.

From your logs it looks like you're trying to build from within yocto. In Yocto you would generally not directly set --buildtype, but would set up yocto for a debug build. Can you provide instructions on how you set up the build?

Please include which machine you're building for, what upstream sha1 you're testing, and what you're appending to enable a debug build.
