I was wondering about this myself, but then I remembered that this
time around I specified the -c99 switch to the C compiler (via the
CFLAGS symbol in configure). I had to specify -c99 because even though
wxWidgets is not dependent on C99, it uses header files from gtk/glib
that does. Using a newer version of gtk/glib, I ran into compilation
errors with syntax like:

#define mymacro(...) my macro def

The compilation problems in the gtk/glib headers regarding the "..."
arg in a macro went away when I specified -c99 to the C compiler.

I suspect that specifing -c99 allowed configure to find more system/
native versions of C functions (which, again, do not compile under C+
+).

I think I looked at the man pages for the C++ compiler trying to find
a C99 compatibility mode but could not find any. I will look again
when I go back to work on Monday.

I will do this on Monday and report back. Thats for the continued
help.
