Summary: Missing wide character support in MinGW 3.2?

Initial Comment:
Hi.

I've tried searching the mingw-users mailing list archive, 
but it appears the search function doesn't work, now, so 
therefore I'm posting, here.

When trying to compile a program that uses 
std::wstring, I get a link-error about missing definition. 
std::string works fine, though. I've used MinGW 3.2 that 
comes with Dev-C++. It appears to be a MinGW related 
problem, as I've heard from others who had the same 
problem.

Also, when testing for _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T on 
MinGW, it's conspicuously absent, and, searching on 
Google, I found this posting 
(http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?
msg_id=9057201&list=6013) from June, 2002:

"wide char streams aren't fully supported yet in new 
libstdc++.a.  I'm working on it."

Is this still the case? I've heard that GCC 3.2, with 
library, now supports wide characters.


Regards,

Terje
