Simple test case. This application uses the C locale (by virtue of the fact that we did not use setlocale(), and evidenced by mb_cur_max of 1). On Linux, this correctly shows wctomb rejecting the conversion (0x100 is too big to fit in a 1-byte sequence) with EILSEQ, but newlib currently truncates the invalid wchar_t value to int and returns 1.
