Change here is particular is a small part of a much bigger (JDK wide) fix, if that's what you meant by it happening in other files. I'm not sure if the code here could be redefined as a jchar from the start though, should I give it a try?

@djelinski After quite some time I think I know what the problem is: My fork is somehow missing the -Zc:wchar_t- flag in the configure script, and it's not because of the permissive- flag as I had initially though. Is there a reason we do this though? Barring this particular file it seems like the rest of the JDK compiles fine with it on my end. Maybe I could change this Pull Request to a build one instead of just a security-libs one in that case?
