Since no one replied, I did some additional digging. It looks like we need to switch the --windows option on if we want Comeau to accept __declspec options. Same conclusion Vladimir Prus brought up a couple weeks back -- no one responded.

If you look at the information on the follow 2 pages you might become convinced that this should be possible.
Ah... this clearly indicates __declspec should be explicitly turned on.
However, it doesn't seem like there's too much interest in fixing this issue. So if no one responds I'll just mark the tests as expected failure and move on -- I've already spent more time on this than I should have...
Hmm... that's interesting observation. It appears that at least date_time, program_options and regex (see http://tinyurl.com/5ysxu) are affected by this problem and nobody seems to care. I think I'll mark the dll tests as expectedly failing too, if no solution arrives quickly. - Volodya
