We've been through endless bouts of thrashing with this config - Beman Dawes
checked in the changes you mentioned - so I'm cc'ing him on this one.

Also we shouldn't be using _WCHAR_T_DEFINED as a check in the header,
because that gets set by the windows headers even if wchar_t isn't a native
type.

I suspect we will get complaints whatever :-(
