 I didn't have time to rerun it yet, but we definitely ran
nychthemeral_test.sh as part of the testing and it worked for us, although
perhaps not with the very latest wx commit which was finally included in
the PR. If this is really what explains the difference, it should be
relatively easy to find the culprit.

 Strange that there are no errors in wxPdfDoc too, it does something very
similar, if not identical, to wx DLL export/import declarations I believe.

 I'll try to test and fix this a.s.a.p., but right now I have unfortunately
no idea what could the problem be. I hope we don't have to add yet another
gcc version check condition to the definition of WX{EX,IM}PORT in
wx/dlimpexp.h...

 Sorry about this problem,
