wxGTK32 (gtk3?) wayland issue

[Robert Bagdan <kikadf.01%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,
Some packages failing to build in the latest NetBSD 11.0/x86_64 HEAD pbulk,
because of missing wayland support from wxGTK32:

In my local machine wxGTK32-3.2.10nb1's libraries contain the missing
references.
Make a test build with wxmaxima, and build fine.

As I see wxGTK32 enables the wayland support if gtk3 has wayland support.
If gtk3 doesn't have wayland support, wxgtk32 wayland disabled as well.

I'm not sure but there is a gtk3 wayland relevant change from @nia:
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/e14c2c74d809f3f6527ac11ed814c43302699de9

 .if ${PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_WAYLAND} == "yes"
+# workaround for PR pkg/60295
+.  if ${OPSYS} != "NetBSD" || ${X11_TYPE} != "native" || \
+      exists(${X11BASE}/lib/modules/libglamoregl.so)
 PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS+= wayland
+.  endif
 .endif

I don't see a problem in the logic, but maybe this somehow broke the
gtk3 wayland support detected in pbulk?
Unfortunately I can't find the gtk3 logs from this pbulk build. Would
be nice to see if gtk3 built
with or without wayland support.

Any ideas?
