FreeBSD does not implement iconv family functions in the base system, it
has a WCHAR_MIN/WCHAR_MAX constants defined in a wrong header and wcstof
function is not committed yet. These three prevent libstdc++ configure
from enabling wchar_t instantiations.

If you really, really want to enable wchar_t support, you might do it by
trivially hacking up our base system compiler build:

1) Deffine _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T as 1 in
/usr/src/gnu/lib/libstdc++/c++config.h file.

2) Comment out all references to wcstof in
/usr/src/contrib/libstdc++/include/c_std/std_cwchar.h file.

3) Define WCHAR_MIN/WCHAR_MAX in /usr/src/include/wchar.h.

4) make buildworld/installworld.

I for one would not mind getting a tester running with wchar_t-enabled
libstdc++ library on his system. Feel free to submit any errors you'll
encounter.
