hello

i'm having problems with the newlib package
especially the module "ctype.h" which is responsible for recognizing
characters
the problem is, that it doesnt recognize UTF-8 characters like umlauts or
accents

first i tried to solve it by setting the enviroment variables to

LANG=de
LC_CTYPE=de etc.

but had no effect, then i recognized that ctype is hardcoding the
definition of characters
so i enhanced the table in "ctype_.c" like this

#define _CTYPE_DATA_0_127 \
     _C,  _C,  _C,  _C,  _C,  _C,  _C,   _C, \
     _C,  _C|_S,    _C|_S,    _C|_S,     _C|_S,    _C|_S,    _C,  _C, \

     _P,  _L,  _L,  _L,  _L,  _L,  _L,   _L

i compiled the newlib as it is described in the readme files......
and got files like "libc.a, libg.a, libm.a"
those i copied in the path "/lib"
and the other paths where the old libc.a was found
and recompiled my testprogram but it had no effect........

im really at the end of what i can do to fix this bug and really
superceeded my knowledge
in cygwin and what can be found of documentation in the internet.

although i think this is a very internal problem..........

thanks for any help

Felix
