Thanks Alexandre for your feedaback. You are always very kind.
In the meanwhile, with Ulrich we have carried out all the possible 
checks, and testresults seems to confirm that our patches are ok, fix 
indeed  the problem on powerpc and s390, and do not cause regressions 
for the codecvt_unicode tests on other platforms I don't have access to. 
Also, Benjamin explained something of the rationale of those tests which 
I did'nt completely understand before.

We are checking-in also the wchar_t fix, besides the char fix which is 
already in. Please let us know ASAP if really on sparc-linux too those 
tests are ok now.

Ciao, Paolo.
