Those should be in reasonable shape, although they would likely take some
minor tweaking to update to current cvs.

You referring to the necessary support routines required to interface
libstdc++ with the underlying libc.  Such patches will not be submitted
upstream until I have done the planned rewrite of internal locale
support prior to the 1.0 uClibc release, as I want complete local
control of such code until the interface stabilizes.
