    Problem Text
    The system supports the wcsxfrm() function in the C locale only
    and returns ENOSYS for other locales.
    The constant _XOPEN_ENH_I18N is set to (-1L) in <unistd.h>

    This is a documented grey area, supported by the X/Open XoTGbase interpretation

    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.os/wstring/wcsxfrm/T.wcsxfrm 1 Failed

    Test Description:
    If wcsxfrm() is supported:
    When
    a. there has been no previously successful call to setlocale();
    b. collating information is not available for the currently
    specified language. then a call to wcsxfrm() uses collating
    information for the 'C' locale.
    Otherwise:
    A call to wcsxfrm() returns (size_t)-1 and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    VERIFY collation is as per 'C' locale when no locale has been set
    SET locale to VSX4L0
    VERIFY collation is as per 'C' locale when locale with no collating
    information has been set

    Test Information:
    wcsxfrm() gave ENOSYS but a previous call did not
    wcsxfrm() gave ENOSYS but a previous call did not
