If you really don't have any wchar.h on that system,
then run `man mbrlen' and see if it tells of some
other .h file that must be included to get a definition
of the mbstate_t type.

Then you can try replacing the #include "wchar.h" in
lib/strftime.c with your new include(s) and run make again.

If all else fails, change this line of strftime.c

#define DO_MULTIBYTE (HAVE_MBLEN && ! MULTIBYTE_IS_FORMAT_SAFE)

to this:

#define DO_MULTIBYTE 0
