Dear Ilya, dear all,
Thanks again.
My full xkb mapping is the following. I have not added all the Compose
keys but just i_breve_below to test it (note that it is not a i without
dot but a normal i with a breve below and that the i withoutdot is
combined with a half ring above.
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "oss" {
include "latin"
include "level3(ralt_switch)"
include "nbsp(level4n)"
include "keypad(oss)"

Mmh... Strange. It seems that we are not too far but I do not see why it
is not working on my laptop.

So I have let in ~/.XCompose:
<i_breve_below> : "i̯"
i.e. I have first written the i and then added the breve inverted below.
