# serial 9

# From Paul Eggert.

# BeOS 5 has <wchar.h> but does not define mbstate_t,
# so you can't declare an object of that type.
# Check for this incompatibility with Standard C.

# Include stdlib.h first, because otherwise this test would fail on Linux
# (at least glibc-2.1.3) because the "_XOPEN_SOURCE 500" definition elicits
# a syntax error in wchar.h due to the use of undefined __int32_t.
