None of those look like they are wxWidgets related, but from the Sourceforge
gnuwin32-users list I get the advice to link in the libole32 library - I
would have thout that it was already linked in by wxWidgets, but try adding
-lole32 to the LDFLAGS in the Makefile explicitly.  I'm convinced that
linker errors are God's way of teaching us patience :)

Thanks for reporting this.
