As discussed in the upstream issue, it may because by the include file 
which specifies:
int    wcwidth (const wchar_t);
although the parameter type should be wint_t (as it is in newlib) to 
support full Unicode.
gcc 16 sign-extends the parameter to a signed 16-bit value, while 
earlier gcc zero-extends it to an unsigned.
Why it extends a short value for an assumed short parameter at all, and 
why the signedness of this extension changed in gcc 16, remains obscure 
for now.
(Maybe further discussion in the upstream issue will shed light on this.)
But in any case I guess it would help to fix the include file and make 
it consistent with both newlib and the wcwidth manual page.
