Yes, it's not used directly. But I see many references to it in object
files that are either inside archive [ e.g haskellInit.o that is in Runtime.a
has reference to __ctype_b, to be precise the function numArg(...) seems
to use it indirectly via C builtin function isdigit(...) ] or binaries. 
You can run "nm *" in /lib/nhc/$YOURARCHITECTURE/ directory to see 
many references to __ctype_b.

I infact built nhc from source distribution, and tried rebuilding it, but this
link error persists. I'm almost certain that very few files need to be 
modified ('coz not many references) to make it compatible with current
glibc, but don't know the over all design of compiler so can't hack into it.
