OK.

Not like that, as it will break entirely on machines without xlocale.h
(which I presume is pretty nonstandard; it's certainly not mentioned
in the POSIX spec). It will also break things on glibc, according to
this comment in our c-library.m4:
# Check for the locale_t type and find the right header file. Mac OS
# X needs xlocale.h; standard is locale.h, but glibc also has an
# xlocale.h file that we should not use.
I think what we need is configure logic to find out where wcstombs_l()
is declared, and then #include <xlocale.h> only if it's necessary to get
that definition. I haven't experimented but probably you could make such
a check with nested uses of AC_CHECK_DECL.
