I don't have time to help you with that at the moment I'm afraid.

I told you about this back in February I think, where I demonstrated
that GCC gives crappy error messages when it encounters the dastardly
diamond:

http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Building-with-wx2-9-on-Mac-td3397898.html#a3397998

At the time, I couldn't recreate the problem, and I speculated that it
was a bug specific to the Mac version. You said that Clang could build
it, which I thought was weird.

Anyway, I think it's going to be tough for me to diagnose the problem
without a Mac.
