Sorry, no, I missed Bruno's OK.  I just now checked it in.

What is the test program that fails?  It should be in config.log.
It's supposed to be something like this:

   #include <wctype.h>

   int
   main ()
   {
     return iswprint (0);
   }

and <http://www.opengroup.org/susv3/functions/iswprint.html>
says this should compile and link OK.

Maybe some -l option is needed?
