On a completely unrelated note:

gcc 4.3.4: released on 2009.08.04 
gstreamer 1.0.0: released on 2012.09.24, used in wine only since 2016.01.15

While the devs here might be more flexible, updating random bits and pieces of
your system instead of taking a more holistic approach is a bad long-term
policy.

What distro do you have? Isn't there the option to upgrade your compiler?

--- Comment #3 from Nathan Bennett  ---
This particular distro is Racy Puppy, one of the many versions of Puppy Linux.
Even if there was a way to update the compiler, other software in this distro
is old and would require significant updating.
Easier just to use one of the newer and updated versions of Puppy Linux that
exist.
I no longer compile in this distro version, in part, because of the many
current, and likely future, compiling failures.

As far as I am aware, there is no minimum compiler version requirement in
configure.

It would appear reasonable to close this bug as, won't fix, for multiple
reasons.
-old age of compiler
-difficult to fix
-possibly few, if any, users that need an updated version of wine that will
function on their old hardware and software.
