Okay, uclibc indeed has _optional_ support for `wchar_t`. But what
really throws me off: "include/wchar.h" from uclibc has the following
snippet right at the top:

    #ifndef __UCLIBC_HAS_WCHAR__
    #error Attempted to include wchar.h when uClibc built without wide char support.
    #endif

We unconditionally include <wchar.h>, and your system does not seem to
have support for it built in. So why doesn't the `#error` trigger? It's
also not like this is a recent error, it has been added with 581deed72
(The obligatory forgotten files..., 2002-05-06).

We can do something like the below patch in clar, but I'd first like to
understand why your platform seems to be broken in such a way.
