Thanks to suggestions from Vitaliy Margolen, Neil Skrypuch and Scott Ritchie I downloaded and manually installed 32 bit libraries
I've found that the only truly clean way to build Wine in Ubuntu AMD64 is to use a chroot environment. Google on ubuntuforms.org for details on how to set that up. The biggest benefit of that method (besides the fact that it "just works" [eventually]) is that you can keep up to date with security updates for your 32-bit packages. The way you're doing it manually, you are now responsible for updating your 32-bit libs each time there is a security update. Whereas, with a chroot, you can just run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade".
It would be really nice if Ubuntu had a pre-packaged Wine[-dev] environment for 64-bit systems (which would include all of the necessary 32-bit libs placed in the correct locations), but no one has taken the effort yet AFAIK.
I'm working on it :) (and efforts like yours are helping)
Unfortunately, all of Wine's libs aren't available in 32 bit packages yet - I've filed a bug in Ubuntu to get them included, though:
