The output of both commands is identical (tested with diff):

/usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_adv-2.5.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_core-2.5.a

If you were referring to the configure script of pgadmin (and not
wxWindows), I get the same "undefined reference" errors. I configured it
only with --enable-debug option.
