I doubt it's related to setting CC and CXX -- this DLL is used if you 
enable multithreading, you can get rid of it by configuring wxWidgets 
with --disable-threads (and thus not using -mthreads flag, I think).

If you could investigate this and find out what exactly fails, it 
would be most welcome.

Nothing -- you just didn't know the strip utility that strips 
debugging information from binaries and about the fact that there's 
always at least some debugging information in binaries produced by 
gcc and/or GNU binutils.
