 FWIW I still can't reproduce the problem with Cygwin neither on my main
machine nor in my lmi VM. This is quite surprising as I don't see why
running autoreconf wouldn't be reproducible.

 Would it be possible to get the output of "cygcheck -c" (or "-cd" if "-c"
takes too long, although it could be nice to have a confirmation that the
packages haven't been corrupted somehow) from the system where the original
failure was observed?

 It really looks like it could be fixed by my blind fix at

https://github.com/vadz/wxpdfdoc/commit/b2c6bb2d92d60c1027dcd2dc9817b89a748b14ab

but without being able to reproduce the problem, I can't be sure if this is
indeed the case. It would be really helpful if you could try this fix.

 I guess this answers my question about nychthemeral_test.sh in another
thread where I asked whether it was supposed to work for me: so it is. 
I'll check/debug it soon.

 OK, I definitely can replace install_wxpdfdoc.make with
install_wxpdfdoc.sh similar to install_wx.sh. I've added this to my TODO
list.
