CentOS 3? Alexandre was bitching about RHEL 5 being "prediluvian" ... RHEL 3 has a 2.4.21 based kernel, is over 7 years old and EOL. I'm not sure it is worth spending the effort to make current Wine compile and run on such an old system.

The fact that CentOS 3 has a Linux 2.4 kernel is precisely why I tried compiling Wine on the system.
My motivation was to determine the reason that the reporter of bug 26088 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26088) felt the need to compile Wine configured with --without-pthread, which doesn't seem to be something anyone should be doing. CentOS 3 seemed to be a natural candidate for testing, although later developments revealed that the reporter's system of concern was actually Debian Sarge.
Given that there are apparently a non-zero number of users wanting to compile and run at least stable Wine on antique platforms, a few patches to accommodate such users doesn't seem to be too much trouble. The sched_setaffinity compile error was the only real blocker for compilation on CentOS 3, and after fixing it, I was able to at least successfully launch winecfg.

It's not worth making the code more complicated for this. You should disable it entirely if configure detects a broken prototype.
