You've got two solutions.
One is to test for __STDC_ISO_10646__ at compile time, and refuse to
build if it is not set. This is not different from all the code that
refuses to compile if _POSIX_SAVED_IDS is not defined.
The other is to
typedef unsigned long uchar_t;
and write your own code to operate on uchar_t, which is not as
difficult as it may seem (the only issue being with printf and scanf,
which cannot be easily wrapped).
Of course, you could combine the two by doing
#ifdef __STDC_ISO_10646__
typedef whar_t uchar_t;
#else
typedef unsigned long uchar_t;
#endif
and writing everything twice. This is only recommended if you are
paid by the line.

P.S. What about converting all of your code to Bruno's CLISP?
