The testcase is invalid, std types can only be specialized for user-defined
types. It can be made valid by:
#include <ext/pod_char_traits.h>
#define mychar __gnu_cxx::character<unsigned short, int>

Or simply initialize it in the primary template the same way the
specializations do it, with _S_get_c_locale()
