I only installed FreeBSD yesterday and haven't used it,
so my advice may be wrong.
If both wchar_t are the same thing, replace the
line by
#ifndef _wchar_t
#define _wchar_t
typedef unsigned short wchar_t;
#endif
If one is a 16 bit thing, and another 32 (this happens
in one of the Japanese package, I suppose), I would
rename the 32 bit thing to Wchar_t. Remember the
size of wchar_t is ambiguous and invites trouble.
Cheers,
Tsuji
