1. The trailing slash is redundant.
2. It causes warnings when using CMake >=3.31:
```
CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:596 (install):
Policy CMP0177 is not set: install() DESTINATION paths are normalized. Run
"cmake --help-policy CMP0177" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy
command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Pull request description:
This drops our dependency on `boost::signals2`, leaving `boost::multi_index` as the only remaining boost dependency for bitcoind.
`boost::signals2` is a complex beast, but we only use a small portion of it. Namely: it's a way for multiple subscribers to connect to the same event, and the ability to later disconnect individual subscribers from that event.
`btcsignals` adheres to the subset of the `boost::signals2` API that we currently use, and thus is a drop-in replacement. Rather than implementing a complex `slot` tracking class that we never used anyway (and which was much more useful in the days before std::function existed), callbacks are simply wrapped directly in `std::function`s.
The new tests work with either `boost::signals2` or the new `btcsignals` implementation. Reviewers can verify
functional equivalency by running the tests in the commit that introduces them against `boost::signals2`, then again with `btcsignals`.
The majority of the commits in this PR are preparation and cleanup. Once `boost::signals2` is no longer needed, it is removed from depends. Additionally, a few CMake targets no longer need boost includes as they were previously only required for signals.
I think this is actually pretty straightforward to review. I kept things simple, including keeping types unmovable/uncopyable where possible rather than trying to define those semantics. In doing so, the new implementation has even fewer type requirements than boost, which I believe is due to a boost bug. I've opened a PR upstream for that to attempt to maintain parity between the implementations.
See individual commits for more details.
Closes#26442.

b149a28f6b depends: Do not consider `CC` environment variable when detecting system (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
On the master branch @ 3c88eac28e, consider the following commands in the `depends` subdirectory:
```sh
$ make print-build HOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CC="clang -m32"
build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
$ make print-host HOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CC="clang -m32"
host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
```
The printed variable values are expected.
However, switching the `CC` variable context from Makefile to the shell environment breaks expectations:
```sh
$ CC="clang -m32" make print-build HOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
$ CC="clang -m32" make print-host HOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
```
This PR fixes this issue.
#### UPDATE 2026-01-20
On the master branch @ 7f5ebef56a:
```
$ gmake print-build HOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CC="clang -m32"
build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
$ gmake print-host HOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CC="clang -m32"

Code review ACK b149a28f6b. `env --unset` was replaced with `unset &&` since last review. I still think it could be better to write `CC=$(build_CC)` here even if `build_CC` may not be defined at this point (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29963#issuecomment-3774229317) because it makes intent of the code more obvious, but current PR is already an improvement

1. Use `build_os` instead of `host_os` for native packages.
2. `XCODE_VERSION` is available only for `darwin` hosts. Therefore,
simply disable the Xcode version check for `native_qt`.
CC/CXX only override compilers for target (host) packages. Native
build tool packages (native_capnp, native_qt, etc.) use separate
build_CC/build_CXX variables, which default to gcc/g++ on Linux.
On systems without gcc (e.g. Nix, Chimera Linux), native package
builds fail unless build_CC/build_CXX are also set explicitly.
Document how to override both sets of compilers.

This PR updates the `qt` package in depends to the latest open-source [6.8.3](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.8.3-released) LTS release.
The update includes numerous bugfixes, which allows us to drop `qtbase_plugins_windows11style.patch`.
Additionally, it includes [patches](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/34569#issuecomment-3892793262) for compatibility with GCC 16 (along with one extra patch), and incorporates a [commit](8f1b55d1d5) from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32709.

Newer versions of the macOS SDK, have introduced code like:
```cpp
if defined(__has_feature) && __has_feature(modules)
define USE_CLANG_TYPES 1
else
define USE_CLANG_TYPES 0
endif
if USE_CLANG_TYPES
include <sys/_types/_ptrdiff_t.h>
include <sys/_types/_size_t.h>
include <sys/_types/_va_list.h>
include <sys/_types/_wchar_t.h>
endif
```
which is currently causing compile failures due to undeclared types,
which manifest when C++ modules are enabled. Note that the usage of
"modules" in LLVM is can be a bit ambiguous, see:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55891.
For now, explcitly disable cxx modules using `-fno-cxx-modules`. This
resolves the include/compilation issues.
