According to Gary V. Vaughan on 2/23/2009 7:39 PM:
> sparc-sun-solaris2.8-suncc58  m4 tests pass, gnulib fails: test-mbrtowc4.sh
>   test-mbrtowc.c:305: assertion failedAbort - core dumped
>   FAIL: test-mbrtowc4.sh
>   (m4-1.4.12 everything passes, but there is no test-mbrtowc4.sh)

Bruno will have more ideas on how to detect this bug and work around it.
M4 is not impacted (since it is, unfortunately, still hardcoded to the C
locale), but fixing gnulib will benefit other packages.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
