that worked.

i just added:

#define WCHAR_UNSIGNED 1
#define WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE 16
#define WCHAR_TYPE "short unsigned int"
#define MAX_WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE
to mips.h

and of course you have to use little endian.

I think the `pe' string is present in all WinCE triplets.  Is that
your case?

there must be some way to "config" it properly or to
set the proper manner at compile time.

this would be needed for all the wince targets so somewhere
people must have already solved this.

The size of a wide character varies from platform to platform.  GCC
follows pre-existing compilers of each platform, when they exist.

when i compiler L"hello" with the gcc
for NT it produces the same as the microsoft 
cl
compiler.
 
.ascii "h\0e\0l\0l\0o\0\12\0\0\0"
 
however, when i compiler using the 
mips
compiler, it is much different.
 
.ascii  
"\000\000\000h\000\000\000e\000\000\000l\000\000\000l\000" .ascii  
"\000\000o\000\000\000\n\000\000\000\000"
 
any ideas?
