I'm just thinking out loud here.
This build failure was due to a pretty blatant bug in wxgtk2.8's makefiles: passing global -L flags (for dependent libs, etc.) early in the linker call and then using -l to find a "currently being built" lib. By having the local -L after the global one, they are guaranteeing that a previously-installed wxgtk2.8 will always contaminate a new build and only by luck will it actually link and/or run as expected. Ever.
