There is a wchar.h in the 'include' directory and it does define 
WCHAR_MIN/MAX. You can see WCHAR_MAX in the config_info results.

It's not a question of "poor" support, it's none existent :-) I have it 
on good authority that _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T has intentionally been left 
undefined because the wide character streams support is broken in the 
QNX/GNU C++ std lib.
