Peter, I noticed you have another patch that fixes this issue:

@@ -16469,7 +16452,7 @@ Index: git/include/libc-symbols.h
-#define HAVE_MBSTATE_T 1
-#define HAVE_MBSRTOWCS 1
+
-+#if __OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE
++#if defined(__OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE) && __OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE
+# define HAVE_MBSTATE_T 1
+# define HAVE_MBSRTOWCS 1
+#endif

This will fix the the issue, but (please correct me if I'm wrong) 
the way I see it, since__OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE is defined in 
gnu/option-groups.h, which is NOT included libc-symbols.h and hence
 
	#if defined(__OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE) 
 
will always evaluate as false and HAVE_MBSTATE_T will be never defined.

I am not sure why the HAVE_MBSTATE_T needs to be conditioned at all, my
understanding is
it is defined if the file <wchar.h> contains type definition "mbstate_t".
This typedef either exists or not and saying it not exists when in fact 
it does might be confusing (as it already is for me) and I don't see any 
relation with __OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE.


The only place in glibc I could find that uses HAVE_MBSTATE_T is in fnmatch.c:

#if defined _LIBC
# include <gnu/option-groups.h>
#endif

#  if (HAVE_MBSTATE_T && HAVE_MBSRTOWCS) || (_LIBC &&
__OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE)
#   define HANDLE_MULTIBYTE    1
#  endif

To me it seems it is actually HANDLE_MULTIBYTE that we want conditioned 
with a new patch, resulting in something like:

#if defined _LIBC
# include <gnu/option-groups.h>
#endif

#  if (HAVE_MBSTATE_T && HAVE_MBSRTOWCS && _LIBC && __OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE)
#   define HANDLE_MULTIBYTE    1
#  endif

Incidentally, I tried a core-image-minimal build with unconditioned
HAVE_MBSTATE_T and encountered no problems, just like you did originally.
This would imply poky-tiny problem is a probably a different problem.

One last unrelated thing: I believe in the patch you missed one ".out"
extension, 
I think it should be:

...
++ $(objpfx)tst-pcre-mem.out $(objpfx)tst-boost-mem.out
...

instead of 

...
++ $(objpfx)tst-pcre-mem $(objpfx)tst-boost-mem.out
...
