Re: Missing wide character functions in libc.a

["Herbert" <herbert at preston dot net>]

Would you know where can I find the source code to fix missing functions
(wcspbrk(), wcschr(), wcsrchr(), wcscoll(), wcsrfxm(), towupper(),
towlower() etc) in /lib/libc.a? I tried to "brower" from GNU's glibc source
(which does not build on Cygwin at moment), but it does not seem to be a
clean and easy cut.

I also download Cygwin source, but seem to me that these function just
haven't been implemented?!

Thanks.

Cheers,
Herbert
