So this is a MinGW bug, where not hosts are created equal. Isn't it?
wchar_t must not depend on the host. wchar_t is not the happy-fun ISO C
generic type, nice and kind and asexual. wchar_t under MinGW must be the
hairy Win32 bubba, two bytes unsigned. The happy-fun ISO C wchar_t will
get beaten to the ground and mugged. It has no business in my <stddef.h>

"Consequently"? I hope that's "accidentally". When host tools and
libraries are compiled under Windows, they must be compiled as Windows
code. When they are compiled under Linux, as Linux code. And so on. No
exceptions. NO. EXCEPTIONS. We have been having these idiotic issues for
YEARS, but the difference between host and target is pretty simple. Host
is host and target is target. You will never fix

What host modules include target headers?
