The problem is not wxwidgets, the problem is that kicad needs to be
compiled with gcc as it has many many gcc-isms and upstream supports
gcc only and rejects fixes towards more compatibility, so patching
is pretty fruitless. And as c++-mangling is different between gcc
and Sun Studio you need to have all libs needed by kicad also as
gcc-versions. This includes wxwidgets here.
