[...] I also build Wine on an amd64 system (running gentoo/ amd64), no problems. But there's one thing I noticed a while ago: Wine continues to compile and install even if some of the DLLs won't compile. I had this a few times in the past, and ended up with a basically working Wine install that missed a few DLLs, mostly OpenGL-related stuff. Maybe something like that happens to you? Just check that all DLLs are built and in place, and make sure there were no errors during compile (like I said, with some DLLs, Wine just continues to build even though errors appear)...
Correct, wine will compile and run without a lot of features and never warn you that they don't exist. See this wiki page for an example of what your include/config.h file should probably look like:

I just added the Fedora Core 5 and Ubuntu Dapper sections yesterday, and I believe that they are at least 95% accurate, although I might have missed one somewhere. If someone can add the package names required for a gentoo build (or possibly create and maintain wine-cvs packages with all of the necessary deps???), it would probably help out many users trying to compile from source.
