Some implementations of libc do not have proper support for `wchar_t`. One such library is uClibc, which only has optional support for this type. When not enabled, then the <wchar.h> header will be a mere stub that only contains a typedef for `wchar_t`, but nothing else. Drop our use of `wchar_t` on such platforms.

Actually, this wchar.h stub does not define wchar_t. It only defines wint_t and WEOF.

Oops, right, thanks for the clarification!
