The script looks reasonable enough, so the problems are probably coming
from gnuplot's build system.

The proximate cause of the failure appears to be:
ld: Undefined symbols:
typeinfo for wxMemoryDC
typeinfo for wxDataObject
typeinfo for wxTopLevelWindowMac
typeinfo for wxApp
typeinfo for wxFrame
typeinfo for wxPanel
typeinfo for wxDialog
typeinfo for wxObject
typeinfo for wxThread
typeinfo for wxControl

However, the preceding warnings about many symbols being taken from
/usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.5.dylib instead of libraries in /opt/local/lib
are highly suspect. Quite possibly what is being warned about
beforehand: "warning suggest use of -bind_at_load, as lazy binding may
result in errors or different symbols being used"

The current automake port is 1.11.
