This was my mistake, sorry.  I originally went the route in this patch and ran 
into some errors testing, so I switched to what I detailed in the RFC.  But 
then I found the problem (I was using narrow chars for the GetCharacter 
callback when that actually isn't supported). Overall I think it is best to use 
narrow char and string rather than wide-char and wstring because that's more 
consistent with the rest of LLVM.

Regarding platforms, I tested on OS X Big Sur and Monterey, and Debian Linux 
inside a VM.  Jan was able to build on Fedora.  I'm happy to test on more 
platforms - FreeBSD, NetBSD perhaps?

Yeah, the original source converts the parameters and calls el_w* functions 
when the narrow-char functions are called.  This is also true on FreeBSD:
