I prefer to keep :: in front of global functions. I am not aware about other workarounds. What is wrong with NO_MATH_INLINES?

This breaks building Boost on ppc64, where feclearexcept is defined as a macro:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1262444

The problem is that libs/test/src/execution_monitor.cpp is compiled by Boost.Build (so setting __NO_MATH_INLINES should not be necessary, it should just build) and is compiled as C++03, so GCC's <fenv.h> does not #undef the macros because <fenv.h> is not defined by the C++03 standard library so its effects are an implementation-defined extension to the standard.

Please reconsider the wontfix resolution.
