The "problem", if you want to call it that, is that wx-config adds
the fat arch to the ldflags but not to the cflags/cxxflags output.

So when you compile your own code, it will use your own flags and
possibly build single-arch objects/libraries (i.e. the gcc default)
But when you then try to link it with wxWidgets and use the --libs
option to wx-config, it will then search for fat code and fail...

So when we do revise this, it should probably add the flags to all
three of the cflags/cxxflags/ldflags or to neither one of them ?
