I was under the impression short-wchar could differ depending on the platform and thats
why
wide-characters were a no-no in wine. Or is it that only newer gcc's support this
option?

As I understand it it's no-no for Wine because they're using native 
linux libraries (like glibc) and the native libraries (and their 
corresponding headers) expect wchar_t to be the default GCC type.
