Firstly I didn't see these warnings in Boost 1.55. Something has 
changed.

I think we all agree that 23Mb of warnings spew per build using Boost 
1.56 with clang is unacceptable for release. Either 
Boost.Preprocessor needs fixing, or clang toolset builds explicitly 
need to add -Wno-c99-extensions to every Boost build.
