Hi

Adding -m32 to the CXX flags forces 32 bit compilation, and reduces the error
count. It shouldn't make a difference whether this is present or not on
32 bit machines, so try it, if it doesn't then perhaps add it (or make an 
option for 64 bit machine detection)

However, it still produces a couple of errors (and I can't copy and paste on 
this machine), namely

/usr/local/include/wx-2.8/wx/string.h
line 827 : wxChar& wxstring::operator[](unsigned int) cannot be overloaded
line 824 : wxChar& wxstring::operator[](size_t)

this is c++ stuff, which is hopelessly over my head. Sorry.

Nearly there!
