src/text.h includes wchar.h which is not included in FreeBSD 4.3.
I'll admit that FreeBSD 4.5 has it, but 4.3 is not even a year old, so
I expect that it's still running on many sites.

where are the wcs*() functions declared? (They're ANSI and should be
present ...)

I see mainly wcslen referenced in the source. Don't exist in FreeBSD
4.3, as far as I can tell. (What puzzles me is that a binary created
on 4.5 runs on 4.3, though.)

Hmm, yes this sounds strange, because on 4.3 it seems you'd need two
calls, wcstomb to convert to multibyte and mblen to calculate the
length.
Maybe wcslen is a macro which expands to these two function calls and
thus, lucky us, the code works... ahem, guesswork.

No:

U wcslen

No, you've got it backwards. If anything, you'd convert mbstowcs and do
wcslen. wide strings are of fixed width so wcslen is extremely to
implement. it doesn't surprise me at all that it's a macro.
I can do a configure check for wcslen et al and include wchar.h [this is
supposed to be standard] if so; if not, i emulate them. i can always
add a check for wchar.h as well if some extremely broken system comes up
that has wcslen but no wchar.h.

That would be perfect.

it still could be a macro; or maybe I'm not using it anywhere.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. It isn't a macro in FreeBSD
4.3. It's just plain not implemented.
