+       Work around mbrtowc bug in zh_CN.GB18030 locale on Solaris 8.
+       * m4/mbrtowc.m4 (gl_MBRTOWC_SANITYCHECK): New macro.
+       (gl_MBSTATE_T_BROKEN): Invoke it. Replace mbstate_t when it says "no".
+       * doc/posix-functions/mbrtowc.texi: Document the Solaris 8 bug.
+       Reported by Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>.

+
        Work around broken INT8_MAX, UINT8_MAX etc. values on HP-UX 11.23.
        * m4/stdint.m4 (gl_STDINT_H): Also check whether the expansions of
        INT8_MAX, UINT8_MAX etc. contain casts to elementary types.
