The first thing to note is that you cannot use AC_CHECK_TYPE macro to check for mbstate_t. You have to use AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T instead.
OK. This does not change the problem, sorry.
If you experience problems with AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T, please give the details: if you are trying to compile a package, point us to the tarball. If you are writing an autoconf script, please prepare an example, as small as possible, to demonstrate the bug.
I have made it as small as possible, removed automake libtool and gettext to have only make and autoconf involved. Please have a look at it here:

On several systems (Solaris 2.6, openBSD 3.6, macOS X 10.2) the
"./configure && make" fails due to the redefinition by the configure script of the mbtate_t type, on Linux instead it seems to work properly,
with the same compiler version.
the problem seems to be linked with the gcc C++ header files:
----

from /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/c++/algorithm:66,
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/c++/cwchar:65: error: semicolon missing after struct declaration
----
while with the same compiler version on linux all works perfectly well... 8-|
Have a nice day, Stepan Kasal
Thanks, have a nice day too, Thanks for any help.
