wprintf failure when compiled with -fshort-wchar

Hi guys,
I have a problem with eglibc-2.14 wprintf function.
The library has been compiled with ARM cross compiler with
-fshort-wchar option enabled.

Then, for the following test (also compiled with -fshort-wchar option enabled):

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  wprintf(L"TEST\n");
  return 0;
}

The output is "??" instead of TEST.

If the test is compiled without -fshort-wchar option, the output is
fine (it printf TEST string as expected).

Quick debugging showed, that wchar_t size in glibs is 16 bits
(-fshort-wchar option has been applied to build).

Can you suggest any ways to fix this issue?
