Should be fixed in uClibc cvs.  We had added some checking to the
uClibc Makefile to not install various headers based on the specified
configuration.  Looks like shadow.h was one we missed.

Please post.

I believe wchar support is needed for the gcc build, but it might just
be for building libstdc++.  I remember Erik removing some hacks quite
some time ago when I first added the various mb<->wc conversion
functions.

As you say... building takes a while.  So testing all the various
configurations isn't really feasible.
