This test doesn't use wchar_t, so it shouldn't depend on
_GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T being defined.

The problem is that <bits/locale_conv.h> uses wchar_t in default
template arguments:

#ifdef _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T

_GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_CXX11

   /// String conversions
   template<typename _Codecvt, typename _Elem = wchar_t,

That makes it impossible to use wstring_convert and wbuffer_convert
without wchar_t, even if you don't want to convert to wchar_t.

I think we should fix the header, not disable tests that don't use
that default template argument. The attached patch should allow you to
use wstring_convert and wbuffer_convert without wchar_t support. The
tests which instantiate it with char16_t or char32_t instead of
wchar_t should work with this patch, right?

<aside>
Is it the case that the wchar_t type is defined on this target, it's
just that libc doesn't have support for wcslen etc?  Because we should
probably audit all our uses of _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T and find which
ones actually need libc support and which just need the wchar_t type
to exist. Some things really do need the libc support, but I suspect
many others don't.

It seems wrong that we can provide full support for char16_t and
char32_t but not wchar_t, just because the former two don't depend on
anything being present in libc. Why can't we just implement the same
functionality for wchar_t without using libc?

In fact, if we just define std::char_traits<wchar_t> generically
without using any libc functions (or just using them as optimisations)
we might be able to support std::basic_string<wchar_t> and iostream
classes with almost no work. But that's something to consider in the
future.

As François said, this could use the new proc. I'd also prefer if it
was defined as an effective-target keyword so we can use:

// { dg-require-effective-target wchars }

instead of the old fashioned { dg-require-wchars "" } form. I've
recently added effective-target keywords for several of the
dg-require-FOO directives, so we can move away from the old form. I
think new directives should be done as effective-target keywords. See
the recent changes to libstdc++-v3/testsuite/lib/libstdc++.exp for
examples, e.g. 10ee46adf44ae731fc4f9e9fdc25ad60c9d43a9c

But we might not even need this new proc if the codecvt tests can be
made to work using the attached patch.
