 The obvious workaround is to remove "--enable-mimetype=no" from configure
(as wxrc uses wxMimeTypesManager). Of course, if you don't use wxrc you can
just ignore this error. Finally, I've fixed compilation (although MIME type
detection won't work, of course) for --disable-mimetype in the svn now so
it should be ok in 2.8.7.
