Re: Need locale help

[Jonathan Wakely <jwakely dot gcc at gmail dot com>]

I thought I'd check my claim that the ieee model works on Solaris.  It
doesn't, not even close - the code has bitrotted badly.

As Francois said, there's a cast from nl_catd to catalog which fails
on 64-bit (nl_catd is
nl_catd_struct* on SunOS, void* on GNU/Linux, catalog is int everywhere).

Because that cast works on 32-bit, and Solaris builds 32-bit libs
first, the build gets a lot further before it hits more problems.

The attached patch fixes some obvious errors, but definitions of
__convert_{to,from}_v and _GLIBCXX_NUM_CATEGORIES are also needed, as
well as locale::facet::_S_lc_ctype_c_locale, local::_S_categories and
constructors for messages.

Even with all of them defined, there are still linker errors because
messages_members.h doesn't seem to be included by any source files in
the library, resulting in undefined symbols.
