Thanks for all your help tracking this down! I'm seeing the problem  
and have made some changes to the wx configure script that fix it on  
OS X. But I need to check if the fix doesn't break anything on other  
platforms first. We should have this in the 2.6.3 release (due in a  
couple weeks), and fixed in HEAD hopefully in the next couple days.  
(I had been doing my 2.4 builds on Panther, which is why I had not  
noticed this before!)
