I just installed kubuntu 6.06 on a new laptop (no binary avail), AMD64. Compiling wine failed as 4979 says, no libfreetype.so that is compatible. The problem is not in the -L or in gcc or in wine. The problem is in the m32 libfreetype. /usr/lib32 is searched (as /usr/lib/../lib32) by gcc automatically with -m32. The libfreetype developer(s) provided libfreetype.so.6.3.8 and link libfreetype.so.6 ->libfreetype.so.6.3.8 However they forgot to create the symlink libfreetype.so -> libfreetype.so.6 Create this by hand in /usr/lib32 and regrettably wine still will not build as 4 externs are left unresolved: inflate, inflateReset,inflateEnd, inflateInit2. This appears to also be a libfreetype issue. It's been reported several times in various contexts, google for 'libfreetype inflate' to see them. I don't have a solution, sorry.
