commit 2546069da9240706edf408b7494f6cfb4452b8bd

    tolerate padding in mbstate_t
    
    Padding in mbstate_t objects may get the memcmp to fail.
    Attempt to avoid the failure with zero initialization.
    
    
    for  libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog
    
    	* testsuite/27_io/fpos/mbstate_t/1.cc: Zero-init mbstate_t.
