This copy of Chromium was built in Wine, too. It took 1 hour 55 minutes to compile and link from scratch using Visual C++ 2005 in Wine on a q9300. (And that's compiling with /MP to use all cores; wthout /MP, it takes three and a half hours, IIRC.)
Google seriously needs to depend on system libraries rather than build the whole damned thing themselves. I can forgive them for rolling their own webkit, but with gigabytes of space required to compile and almost 2 hours on that high-speed quadcore ... No, they're doing something wrong.
In other news, well done with getting it to work!
See http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildAndTestChromium for easy instructions on how to do this.
