The only reported problem involving getc() was caused by building an
application using headers from a wide-char-enabled version of uClibc
and running the dynamicly linked app on a target using a
wide-char-disabled verion of the shared lib.  The selection of wide
char support changes the layout of the FILE struct, which can cause
the getc() macro to look at the wrong addresses.
