That's my reading as well.
This is only about representability, not about what the locale features can 
handle (if anything).
In particular, setting it only on linux would be less than useful. 
The primary use of this macro is to detect environments where wchar_t is not 
UTF-32, namely windows and IBM platforms.
So this should be defined on all relevant platforms, not just the ones which 
use glibc

Note that this patch came about because someone had trouble with that macro not 
being present on mac.
