PS: As HPC Systems came up: They usually count in decades. GCC 4.8 was released in 2013, so rule of thumb would be that at about 2023 everyone is using GCC 4.8+. But you can also look for RHEL support (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/19458) RHEL 7 uses GCC 4.8 where RHEL 6 is supported till end of 2020 (not counting extended support)
The OS that's running those systems do ship those ancient compilers. Luckily for us, almost all Supercomputers I work on, do have newer compiler versions installed via a modules environment. If you are required to use gcc 4.x, you problem have more pressing issues than Boost 1.7x doesn't officially support C++03 anymore. And maybe, you can't even use C++ in those scenarios
