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.
When I was trying to compile the manual way like you are, I had some issues with Wine's configure script pointing to the wrong libraries in a few places. It was looking in /usr/lib by default, when it needed to look in /usr/lib32 in order to actually work. At that time, however, I didn't know enough about Wine to do much about it besides manually editing my Makefiles each time I ran ./configure.
Good luck, though, and if you get it all down, please post a HOWTO on the Wine wiki. Thanks!
