Ok... here's the summary:
Hopefully locale support will build when cross compiling now. Collation is still not supported, but that's what I'm currently working on. In the next couple of days, I'll probably put up a couple of files for download that will save people the trouble of generating all the glibc locales. Added *wprintf functions, although they currently don't support floating point. That will be fixed when I rewrite _dtostr... or possibly before. Added the wcsto{inttype} functions. Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility. The require locale support and only provide for conversions involving the various unicode encodings { UCS-4*, UCS-2*, UTF-32*, UTF-16*, UTF-8 }, the 8-bit codesets built with the locale data, and the internal WCHAR_T.

1) The target for support is SUSv3 locale functionality. While nl_langinfo
has been extended, similar to glibc, it only returns values for related
locale entries.

8) uClibc's setvbuf is more restrictive about when it can be called than glibc's
is. The standards specify that setvbuf must occur before any other operations
take place on the stream.

More to follow as I think of it...
