What was the problem exactly? In particular, which error do you get when
you run
  $ gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir --with-tests 
--with-c++-tests wchar
and then compile the resulting testdir on your uClibc-without-wide-char
system? First with "make", then with "make -k".

Never heard of anything like that. The Makefiles generated by gnulib-tool
and automake normally don't build .o files that are not needed. I fear that
you have to investigate this yourself.
