Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
On Windows and 32-bit AIX platforms, @code{wchar_t} is a 16-bit type and
therefore cannot accommodate all Unicode characters.
However, the Gnulib function @code{btoc32}, provided by Gnulib module
@code{btoc32}, operates on 32-bit wide characters and therefore does not have
this limitation.
@item
In the C or POSIX locales, this function is not consistent with
Gnulib's @code{mbrtowc} and can return @code{WEOF}:
glibc 2.23, MirOS BSD #10.
