Yes, it works with --enable-clocale=generic.

Yes.  (This is most useful in conjunction with a custom multilib 
configuration providing both glibc and uClibc multilibs with different 
sysroots selected depending on the command-line options.)

That patch <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-02/msg01426.html> has 
already gone in (to trunk and branches/csl/sourcerygxx-4_1).  The only 
problem since reported is breakage on i?86-*-k*bsd-gnu (BSD with GNU libc) 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-03/msg00303.html>.
