Ah, now I understand: it is well possible that the Unicode
database versions differ. Python uses version 3.2.

Do you know which version glibc 2.3.3 uses ?

Note that for portability it is usually better not to use wctype
functions.

The problem seems to be in glibc, when I remove
--with-wctype-functions, it passes. Or could it be in Python
interface to wctype functions?

gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)

Yes, I'm building UCS4 version.

Sorry: I misread glibc as gcc. Still, this sounds a lot like
a broken compiler.

BTW, are you building a UCS4 version ?

The tests pass just fine on my machine. 

Is it possible that your compiler is broken ? 
gcc 2.3.3 is *very* old !

It's clean build root with no other python, so it has no
chance to pickup bad modules.

Please make sure that Python is picking up the correct modules.
You can do so, buy running Python in verbose mode (python -vv).
