There is a third solution: use dh_autoreconf and regenerate configure at
compile time

Multiarch libdir detection by autoconf does not work on i386:
host arch is i486-linux-gnu, therefore it searches in
/usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu, but multiarch libdir is /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.
ax_boost_base.m4 is not working correctly for Debian/i386 and needs more
patching ...

Wouldn't help.

Patch attached.
