I have found the problem.  For the compile and link lines, there are
significant differences between those used in the samples makefile and
those generated using wx-config. 

However, the bit that makes a difference is that `wx-config --static=no
--ld` gives "g++ -shared -fPIC -o" - if I remove the -shared, all is OK.

I don't know what the significance of the -shared is.  For your
information, since you ask, my architecture is a standard i686, Pentium
4 system.

I don't know whether it is significant or not, but the "g++ --version"
gives "g++ (GCC) 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)"

Should this problem be fixed in the build, or is it a problem with my
system and components?
