wxPython is a Python extension, so even if you can build wxWidgets using a different compiler, it won't matter if that compiler doesn't produce a binary that works with the Python you have installed. wxPython's build scripts use MSVC because that is what Python itself uses. See: 

https://docs.python.org/2/extending/windows.html

Particularly important is the last part of the second paragraph. So building with something other than MSVC is not really a practical option for the wxPython project, because it needs to produce binaries that work with stock Python, and that means something built using MSVC.

If you want to build wxPython with something other than MSVC, you need to start by building your Python that way, and be aware that any extension you build will almost certainly not work with stock Python. I wish you luck, but avoiding filling out that form is likely to result in you spending hours or quite possibly even dozens of hours finding some way of getting everything building with an alternate compiler chain.
