I did this:
```
git clone https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/ /meson
cd "/meson/test cases/frameworks/1 boost/"
meson setup builddir
ninja -C builddir
```
It did not work:
```

There is an internal compiler error in GCC itself, but the overall issue is that it is attempting to use an LTO'ed static library:
```
$ grep VERSION= /etc/os-release
VERSION="23.04 (Lunar Lobster)"
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~23.04) 12.3.0
$ readelf --debug-dump /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_unit_test_framework.a| grep 'GNU C++'
<e> DW_AT_producer : (indirect string, offset: 0x164fa): GNU C++17 12.2.0 -m64 -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -g -g -O2 -O3 -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -flto -ffat-lto-objects -fstack-protector-strong -finline-functions -fvisibility=hidden -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection
```
GCC versions mismatch, you cannot do this.
See, particularly, https://bugs.gentoo.org/900519 (GCC apparently forgot to crank the bytecode version). In general, this should not be an ICE, it should just be "lto1: fatal error: bytecode stream in file 'XXX' generated with LTO version AAA instead of the expected BBB".
