On the cygwin build, there is no wxwidgets dependencies.  The configure script generated by ./prepare
from the current cvs source detects correctly detects that wxwidgets dependencies (include files and
libraries) does not exist and build process goes well without any problem.

Perhaps the detection mechanism of the configure on the Mac OS might not work correctly.
How config.log told that if you execute the configure without  --disable-wxwidgets ?

The below shows the corresponding part of config.log in the cygwin build as a reference.

configure:10650: checking for wx-config
configure:10681: result: no
configure:10690: WARNING: wxWidgets can't be found. You can try --with-wx-config-path to give the
right path to wx-config. The wxWidgets terminal will not be compiled.
