There are a couple of versions of the UnixWare DK. I have only the
latest here and it's actually not ever bootstrapped GCC. It is C99-aware
and gets all fouled up by the signatures in the new math libraries and
in the includes. I haven't had time to teach gcc enough about this
target to make them play nice with each other. I've waffled between
making the system headers dumber (stripping out the C99-isms) via
fixincludes or trying to make the libstdc++ stuff smarter by teaching
them about C99.
Your fix to wchar_t fixed OpenServer well enough that it did
successfully bootstrap this morning, so I think the correct fix for this
problem has been characterizied.

On IA32, this means MP-RAS and the ports from Microport, Consensys,
UHC, Dell, and a few others that are probably of waning concern. It
probably includes several non-IA targets. At one point, there were over
a hundred licensees of SVR4.
