 FWIW, the above option doesn't exist. Did you really use it or the correct
--enable-monolithic one?

 This looks like the problem with the shell you use.

 You need to have the DLL in the PATH for it to be found by Windows so this
is perfectly normal. What is less normal is "_intel-0" in the DLL name,
I'm not sure where does this come from.

 Using regsvr32 here doesn't make sense, it's used to register COM (in
process) servers and wx DLL is not a COM DLL at all.
