With the tests I've run since yesterday, I've determined that:

- the wchar-related patches for the libstdc++ testsuite, that I had
  proposed last year, are no longer needed

- your two patchlets did not bring about any regressions to test
  results, not in mainline x86_64-linux-gnu native, not with the trivial
  backports to the gcc-10 tree for x-arm-vxw7r2 that was the focus of my
  immediate attention.

So, I withdraw my submissions of the testsuite patches, and I encourage
you to proceed with the two changes you proposed.

However, for avoidance of any doubt, I'll restate that I cannot vow for
whether they're enough to fix the issues we'd run into back when
wchar/wcs* were not supported in the target system, because now they
are, so the changes do not bring any visible improvements to our results
either.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
