Probably, yes. I've never tried it myself.

Sure, but this is just about testing an interface, not running
applications :-)
Here's what the GCC man-page has to say:
-fshort-wchar
Override the underlying type for wchar_t to be short unsigned int
instead
of the default for the target. This option is useful for building
programs to run under WINE.
Warning: the -fshort-wchar switch causes GCC to generate code that
is not
binary compatible with code generated without that switch. Use it to
conform to a non-default application binary interface.
