Hi, it's me again :)

I've been developing some software in C++ and have tested it on Linux
and FreeBSD, so I decided yesterday to test it on my Cygwin
installation.

The library I link against the program requires wchar_t support.
However, when I build it:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is certainly a bummer :( I saw some emails on mailing lists that
discussed this problem, but I did not notice a conclusive solution. A
message on the GCC ML said that newlib had no UTF-8 support. So, is this
true? Is there a workaround that I can use?

Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed. Thanks!

P.S. Elfyn have you implemented {base,dir}name() [1] yet? ;)
