Hi Jeff,

Given that this new functionality needs a 32 byte buffer, and given that
_REENT_SMALL targets are... well... small, I made the new buffer
optional via `#ifdef _MB_CAPABLE' in struct _misc_reent, which only used
by _REENT_SMALL targets.

Apparently I missed to take the _REENT_CHECK_MISC expression into account.
AFAICS the culprit is the _REENT_INIT_MISC macro now.

Can you please check if this change fixes the problem?
