There's a difference between explicitly not handling it and silently 
passing a wrong value.

WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE is wrong because it doesn't account for flag_short_wchar.  
As far as I can see only ada/gcc-interface/targtyps.c uses WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE 
now.  TYPE_PRECISION (wchar_type_node) / BITS_PER_UNIT is what should be 
used.
