wx-config script incorrectly generated

[Jan Engelhardt]

Something is wrong in or with wx-config because it outputs
libwx_mswu_whatever-3.0.a, while the actual file names are
libwx_mswu_whatever-3.0-i686-w64-mingw32.a.

This seems to be the same issue as the one raised in this thread:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/wx-users/5pcjGZ0Ysfc/discussion

Unfortunately I still don't have any answer for this, I don't know more
about wx-config than anybody else. If someone can look into this and try to
understand what's going on here, it would be very welcome.

Explicitly specifying --build=i686-pc-cygwin at the configure line is
required so as to correctly pinpoint software (including SW other than
wxWidgets!) to the fact that it is cross-compiling.
