Update: See Update 2 in OP above: Build of Alien::wxWidgets failing: help

Following extensive Googling, one of the pieces of advice I've noticed, was to clean the PATH environment variable, and leave there only the Strawberry Perl (and Windows) lib and bin directories.
I've tried that, and then Build made it past the errors reported before, but then gmake failed again, (apparently complaining that the installation is suitable for MS VC++ ?).

Here is the output, I'll be thankful to you if you could offer advice.
