glibc already has strtod_l (since glibc 2.1, undocumented, but declared in <stdlib.h>). What seems to be missing is a function that takes an explicit buffer length. A static reference to the C locale object would be helpful as well, I assume. Maybe this is sufficiently clean that we can export this for libstdc++'s use? Without repeating the libio mess? Thanks, Florian
