Well during this time I found some ways to solve more or less all problems for now, tho some solutions are just nasty workarounds, so maybe on them you can offer some other possible solutions.
Over all there was two issues, signals firing while other signal is being handled, that messed up with "private" variables (using privates in handle_RX_header() and handle_RX_payload() was one of stupidest things I have done) also because of that some data was mixed of overwritten in buffer. And other issue was that Unix was converting '0x0D' to '0x0A' so on some CRC's I have failed to detect message header.

1st problem solved by:
Code:
void ttyO2_signal_handler_IO (int status) {
//handle_RX_header() and handle_RX_payload() private variables moved to privates of each ttyO signal handler.
    static struct _sRxSignalData    ttyO2_status = {2, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}};
    static sMsgData ttyO2_RX_msg;
//mutex was used to stop signal handling while other is not finished. 
    pthread_mutex_lock(&ttyO2_mutex);
//should stop errors - probably working didn't happined after changes, not sure if becouse of mutex or this
    ioctl(UART_port_ttyO2, REAL_FIONBIO, 1);
//should stop other signals in peripheral - wasn't working
    ioctl(UART_port_ttyO2, FIOASYNC, 0);
    signal_handler_IO(UART_port_ttyO2, &ttyO2_status, &ttyO2_RX_msg);
    ioctl(UART_port_ttyO2, REAL_FIONBIO, 0);
    ioctl(UART_port_ttyO2, FIOASYNC, 1);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&ttyO2_mutex);
}

2nd problem solved by:
Code:
void setup_port(int port_nr) {
    struct termios  options;
    int             port = port_nr_to_fd(port_nr);
    if (port < 0) {
        printf("Request to set-up invalid port(%d) detected...\n", port_nr);
    }
            /* get the current options */
    tcgetattr(port, &options);
            /* Set the to 57600kbps baud rate 8N1*/
    cfsetispeed(&options, B57600);
    cfsetospeed(&options, B57600);
    options.c_cflag &= ~(PARENB | CSTOPB | CSIZE);
    options.c_cflag |= CS8;    /* Select 8 data bits */
            /* set raw input, 1 second timeout */
    options.c_cflag     |= (CLOCAL | CREAD);
    options.c_lflag     &= ~(ICANON | ECHO | ECHOE);
    options.c_oflag     &= ~OPOST;
//mess with '\n' and '\r' characters on data receive fix, break symbol should be ok too.
    options.c_iflag     &= ~(IXOFF | IXON | IGNBRK | INLCR | IGNCR | ICRNL);
    options.c_cc[VMIN]  = 0;
    options.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;
            /* set the options */
    tcsetattr(port, TCSANOW, &options);
}

Now for 1st issue would be nice to know how can I stop signal generation when I need and continue it again, don't really like stopping signals with mutexes. Way better solution would be stop their generation during handling.

For second - maybe I missed something and with current setup serial still be making changes to received data. Or maybe there is other way to open or set up serial port that UNIX WOULD NOT CHANGE ANY INCOMING OR OUTGOING DATA.

to migurus:
sorry seems I can't reply yet - not enough post writen, so will reply here:

"***" in code means code parts specific to data analyse, basically data checking, FSM and other code parts which just analyses data stream prints log and passes info to main program.

For ACK part my protocol specification is that no ACK to garbage, so if I miss some data I miss message and consider it as garbage.

In rd_serial the /dev/ttyO2 is hardcoded just temporary, since at the given moment I'm using only this port.
