Yes - previously it was pretty undertermined - in fact you pretty much
always got a debug build (this was more apparent on Mac where the
resulting executable was around 128MB!).

It will default now to dynamic linking, non-debug, and if you don't have
an appropriately configured wx installation to match you'll get the
errors you see. So, you can either:

- Pass the configure options to pgAdmin to tell it to build correctly
with your wx installation
- Rebuild wx with the right configuration to match pgAdmin. This is
perhaps the better option because you can build all 4 possible
combinations and install them over the top of each other. Don't forget
the 'make clean' before each build though, otherwise bad things will
happen.
