Comment(by mloskot <mateusz@…>):

 Gennadiy,

 GI found another workaround which is simpler and seems to solve number of
 other issues related to C99 and POSIX. It is define of _ GNU_SOURCE in
 Jamfile:
 {{{
 <toolset>como-linux:<define>_GNU_SOURCE=1
 }}}

 Quick test shows that it enables C99 features like even snprintf and
 vsnprintf as well as POSIX features like time functions or signals.

 I've just discovered this define while trying to enable signal.h
 definitions, but I'm going to consult it with Comeau team, so in case
 you'd be up to, please do not apply these patches here neither the patch I
 added today ago for #3558 . I'm going to confirm all these and run more
 tests. Sorry for making noise in the tickets, but I think it may be
 relevant to have some steps documented. Thanks for patience!
