Comparing with wide string support under Linux and AIX 4.1.5 (on RS6000)
I see that library mentioned above misses classification functions:

int iswalnum __P ((wint_t __wc));
int iswalpha __P ((wint_t __wc));
int iswcntrl __P ((wint_t __wc));
int iswdigit __P ((wint_t __wc));

and others.

Second I see that in Linux (libc-5.4.46) defines wctype_t as
unsigned short int instead of simply int
