There are further polymorphic archives missing in the jamfile, at least polymorphic_text_iarchive and oarchive.

For avoidance of doubt, there are not missing in the jamfile. They are missing in source, so naturally, there's nothing to compile.

I now switched from polymorphic_binary_{i|o}archive to binary_{i|o}archive. As I understand the only drawback is compilation speed and efficiency.

I honestly don't understand why polymorphic_binary_{i|o}archive exist at all. I should be able to grab any existing archive type and wrap it into polymorphic wrapper of some kind. - Volodya
