Most likely coming from here:
/home/doriad/src/CMake/Modules/UsewxWidgets.cmake(72): 
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${wxWidgets_CXX_FLAGS} )

Hmm, there is also this:

/home/doriad/src/CMake/Modules/UsewxWidgets.cmake(60): 
SET_PROPERTY(DIRECTORY APPEND PROPERTY COMPILE_DEFINITIONS 
${wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS} )


I wonder if the directory properties are causing the trouble some how.

If you add a message to print out CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS you should see that 
stuff.  That should not affect the definitions...  But, the directory 
property might be the problem.  You could try that in the small example.
