1.85.0 Beta 1 RC 1 does not build on Mac OS X with gcc

[mclow]

Copied from the ML (thanks to Matt Borland for the report)

I have successfully built the libraries on M1 Mac running macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 with Clang 17.0.6 using cxxstd=11,14,17,20,23.

On the same platform using homebrew gcc-13 13.2.0 I get build failures with boost.fiber and boost.coroutine.

b2 has the following error:

That's actually a problem in Context, and the fix is fairly trivial. This section from build/Jamfile:

https://github.com/boostorg/context/blob/77de3d527c62b639d7a6ca98c86b231f9f33eb58/build/Jamfile.v2#L210-L231

is missing a <toolset>gcc alternative.

Or, another way to fix it is to just remove the <toolset> conditions from most places, including this one.

untested because I don't own a Mac OS running on AMR64
