I haven't checked the Mac version, but at least on Linux the SQLWCHAR
definition is incompatible, which means it can't be used as a simple
replacement.

Yep, you're right. This is true on Mac OS, too.

It doesn't even matter anyway. The header files are gone (though the
library files remain for backward-compatibility purposes) as of Xcode 7/OS
X El Capitan. (Maybe even earlier; I haven't checked.) You'd have to
install it yourself (e.g. with MacPorts or homebrew) to build against
it--and at that point, you might as well just install unixODBC.
