Summary: wxFileName fails under Fedora 8 x86_64

Initial Comment:
I encounter a build failure under Fedora 8 x86_64, I encounter this error within wx/filename.h:

/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/filename.h: In static member function ‘static
wxChar wxFileName::GetPathSeparator(wxPathFormat)’:
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/filename.h:393: error: ambiguous overload for
‘operator[]’ in ‘wxFileName::GetPathSeparators(wxPathFormat)()[0u]’
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/filename.h:393: note: candidates are:
operator[](const wxChar*, long int) <built-in>
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/string.h:822: note:                 wxChar&
wxString::operator[](int)
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/string.h:824: note:                 wxChar&
wxString::operator[](size_t) 

This is simply an ambiguity, which is simply patched by explicit cast of [0u] to [(size_t)0u]. 

My wx version is 2.8.4, but the code is equal still in 2.8.7.
