>Description:
__WCHAR_MAX__ incorrectly defined when -fshort-wchar is used.  It set to 32767, but a wchar_t is a short unsigned int (see __WCHAR_TYPE__) and the correct value for an unsigned short is 65535.
>How-To-Repeat:
liza:~/test> cat empty.cpp
int main()
{
        return 0;
}

liza:~/test Yes Master? ~/gccsnap/gcctarget/bin/g++ -E -dM -fshort-wchar empty.cpp | grep -i wchar
#define __WCHAR_MAX__ 32767
#define __WCHAR_TYPE__ short unsigned int
#define __WCHAR_UNSIGNED__ 1
>Fix:
Workaround:  Add -D__WCHAR_MAX__=65535 to command line.
