Re: Issues found while checking libstdc++-v3 in gcc mainline (with patch)

This in too. Thanks for doing this.....

(1) is the autoconfig check for wchar_t correct (it seems too

see the C9X stuff. In particular, 

7.24 Extended multibyte and wide character utilities <wchar.h>

2 The types declared are wchar_t and size_t (both described in 7.17);

I think the autconf tests are valid.

(2) should this link be failing for that test in

No. Last week the string instantiations got re-worked, and it looks like 
the wchar_t bits got broken. I think this is fixed now: if it's not, 
please let me know...
