This is https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/issues/81 -- the wide character warning appears when there are any characters present above 0xFF.
This is believed to be fixed in latest development versions subject to testing on Solaris and other bizarro make utilities.
7.00 has been released, so a fix is available as a non-trial version now.
