For jikes, what version are you trying to compile? 0.47 should work
without any wchar.h file.

For 0.55, try creating "wchar.h" with these contents:

  #define NO_WCHAR_H     1
  static wchar_t *
  wcscpy(wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2)
  {
	 wchar_t *const rtn = ws1;

	 while ((*ws1++ = *ws2++) != 0)
		 ;
	 return ws1;
  }
