If the wchar_t is usable on a system we get the following:

> checking for UCS-4 tcl... no
> checking whether wchar_t is signed... no
> yes
> checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... yes
> checking ABIFLAGS... dm
> checking SOABI... cpython-38dm

Yes -- that is a simple 'yes'. Dangling.

A PR is in preparation.

The message is a bit more descriptive if wchar_t isn't usable:

> checking whether wchar_t is signed... yes
> no usable wchar_t found

I'm not sure if it's worth to backport to 3.6, but it's a nice improvement for 3.7 and master branches. Also, it simplifies the checking for wchar_t a bit, which is good.
