I've had the same problem on debian sarge.  The trouble is that debian=20
will install multiple /usr/bin/gcc-x.x.x and makes a symlink=20
from /usr/bin/gcc to one of those.

Well, your symlink points to gcc-4.  You should be able to install the=20
gcc-3.4 package without disrupting anything.  Then just make sure that=20
the 'cc' and 'gcc' in your path are symlinked to that (use a temporary=20
path or whatever.)  They may already be installed.  gcc-3.3 will also=20
work if you have it handy.

Wow, it took me a while to figure that out.  It might really help if=20
Alien/wxWidgets.pm told us what it found:

  Data::Dumper->Dump( [ { %crit }, [$class->_list] ] );

=2E.. hours later ...

It appears that the available config version comes from g++, while the=20
requirement comes from gcc, so you'll need to set CC and CXX to play=20
nice together.

this works for me:

  export CC=3D/usr/bin/gcc-3.4
  export CXX=3D/usr/bin/g++-3.4
  perl Build.PL --nobuild_wx
  ./Build
  ./Build test
