Do you have a simple testcase that fails for you?  Then please file a bug
(via gccbug) so this can be investigated.

This seems terribly wrong: the gcc/g++ defaults for wchar_t match what
Solaris 8 has in <iso/wchar_iso.h>, while the -fshort-wchar flag changes
wchar_t to short, creating an incompatibility with system functions.

Why do you think you need this?
