Hi Bruno,
I needed the following patch in order to build on a Solaris 10
system using gcc-4.2.3. Without it, I got errors like this:
mbsrtowcs-state.c:23: error: invalid initializer
Ok to push?

Subject: [PATCH] mbsrtowcs-state.c, wcsrtombs-state.c: avoid compilation failure
* lib/mbsrtowcs-state.c (_gl_mbsrtowcs_state): Initialize
a variable of type mbstate_t using {0,}, not 0. This is required
with some versions of gcc (at least 4.2.3).
* lib/wcsrtombs-state.c (_gl_wcsrtombs_state): Likewise.
