Comment (by Duncan Exon Smith <duncanphilipnorman@…>):

 I couldn't find a workaround that did not use a patched header.

 For my projects, I include a patched copy of `mode_adaptor.hpp` in an
 overlay (i.e.,
 `$MY_PROJECT/boost/iostreams/detail/adapter/mode_adapter.hpp`).  Since
 headers in `$MY_PROJECT` get precedence over system headers (i.e., I pass
 `-I.` to GCC), the patched version gets used automatically.

 The bad news is that you need to maintain the patched version of
 `mode_adaptor.hpp` yourself when you upgrade Boost.
