I´m not aware of this "metafsl-toolchain", is it a typo? In case it´s
not, can you, please share where this is from?

Which header files?
Have you installed the generated toolchain?
Which tarball from website?

I have no idea. I don´t know boost. But maybe this can help you:

And please, take a look at:
