John,
I found on a freeBSD newsgroup someone who created a bogus wchar.h file
that didn't do anything and *supposedly* it compiled fine. Now, if this
will work on netBSD is debatable. I have tried to compile the jikes source
with an empty wchar.h file, but I keep running out of virtual memory. I'm
running netBSD 1.3.2 on a Quadra 800 with 24 MB of ram and 160 MB free disk
space. If you get a binary compiled please let me know!!!!
