 Well, it's the "only" error just because the build script didn't stop when
wxPdfDoc configure failed, as it should have...

 Not really. Configure code examines the output of "$WX_CONFIG --version"
and judging from the error message it didn't get anything at all from it
(otherwise it would have said "no (version x.y.z is not new enough)").
However I don't see why wouldn't the command it uses, i.e.

/opt/lmi/local/gcc_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/wx-config --version 2>/dev/null

work. Could you please run it interactively just to check what happens? If
it does return the expected "3.1.5" string, then I'm afraid my only idea is
to put "set -x"/"set +x" around the configure lines indicates above (i.e.
11717 and 11838) and try to understand where do things go unexpectedly
wrong.

 Of course, an alternative could be to wait for a few more days until I
finish my submodularization changes, as they should work both for cross-
and normal compilation, but if you need it right now, I can only think of
the above, sorry.
