We don't have a _strtold_r function, only _strtold.  Along these lines,
I think it should be sufficent to implement wcstold and just skip
_wcstold_r.

With this change, the patch looks ok to apply.

As an extension, for targets striving for smaller code size
(PREFER_SIZE_OVER_SPEED or __OPTIMIZE_SIZE__), but double != long double,
would it make sense to implement strtod in terms of strtold?


Thanks,
Corinna
