Some questions:

* Is CC it the same compiler that was used for wxGTK ( it should )?
* Is it a C or C++ compiler ( or both )?
* If it is both, and uses the .c or .cpp ( or .cxx, or whatever ) to
  discriminate between C and C++, is there a way to force it to compile
  a .c file as C++?

* if you do ( from the top level directory )
$ make Wx.c
$ cp Wx.c Wx.cpp ( or .cxx or .cc ... )
$ make Wx.o
CC ..... Wx.c
^C # stop it just after it outputs the command
$ CC .... Wx.cpp # the line compiling the file with Wx.c => Wx.cpp/.cxx/.cc ...
  does it compile or not?
