Since wchart is the only case where a signed type can pop up, why not extend the autoconf test to check for signedness and then reject signed wchart value as not-usable (ie. undefine HAVEUSABLEWCHART).

[martin at v.loewis.de]

Because that would exclude a number of relevant systems where wchart would be usable.

So what if MAL ammened his suggestion to

reject signed 2-byte wchar_t value as not-usable
             +++++++

?
