I read it and built cygwin1.dll. It seems to work correctly.
Should the following part not be modified?
winsup/cygwin/fhandler_console.cc:
> dev_state->con_mbtowc = __mbtowc;
> dev_state->con_wctomb = __wctomb;
But I think the patch solves only the case of UTF-8 in the thread
starting at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-05/msg00245.html.
It is necessary to separate the following variables for the library
and for the system to support encoding that is not UTF-8.
- __mb_cur_max
- lc_ctype_charset
- __mbtowc
- __wctomb
And these variables are set by LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG if call
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C").
