Oops, I found a problem when trying to use that patch with coreutils: fnmatch
now depends on a module wmempcpy that does not exist, causing the bootstrap to
fail.
Come to think of it, coreutils etc. don't want to worry about thw wmem*
functions at all, since they don't use any wide-character code. So fnmatch needs
to be buildable without worrying about providing substitutes for wmempcpy etc.
And this means the patch needs to be revisited.
