Hmm, that's software from a company (BSDI) that exists no longer.  And
the company's successor (Wind River Systems) discontinued support for
BSD/OS at the end of 2004.  Our usual rule is to not worry about
platforms that the original supplier no longer supports, but in some
cases we make exceptions.  Are you actively using this machine in
production, or is this more of a computer-museum situation?

Anyway, if it is a production machine and if you have an obvious fix
it might be nice to fix this in m4 and/or gnulib.

Is there some simple test program that illustrates the bug in wchar.h?
(I am assuming there is a bug there somewhere.)
