Ok I found the problem. On solaris, we have:

#pragma redefine_extname wcsftime       __wcsftime_xpg5

This works fine as long as wcsftime is a member of the global namespace, 
but for some reason it seems to fail if wcsftime is in namespace std:: 
(even if we are inside an extern "C" block).

We then end up calling a wrong version of wcsftime that interprets the 
format string as a char* instead of a wchar_t*, and so does not work 
properly.

Note than sun studio c++ compiler "correctly" handles the pragma.
