No, not any longer. Presumably there was once some conflict between
old versions of wx and MinGW that's now lost in the mists of time.

If possible, would you please pass '--disable-auto-import' to 'ld'

the lmi warnings here? I inhibit that feature because it's a kludge
that can mask actual defects--see:
