First of all, generally the first few errors are related to the problem 
and the remaining ones are caused by the first few errors or have 
something to do with them.

It looks to me as if some header file isn't getting included correctly or 
is missing the appropriate information.

Wine has had several problems with freetype since freetype have changed 
their header names and defines between releases.  The first and most 
obvious thing to do is remove the config.cache from the wine sourcetree 
and try rerunning configure to make it detect freetype again.

Possibly you had checked out the source, built it, updated freetype, then 
updated wine from CVS and tried building again but because of config.cache 
Wine still thinks you have the old freetype.

If that fails make SURE you have the freetype libraries AND headers 
installed properly and that the versions match.  Might also be a good idea 
to search your filesystem for old headers installed in another directory 
or maybe an old release of the freetype headers installed in the same 
directory.

If all of this fails, post a message to wine-users and see if someone can 
help you out.  Generally the wine-devel list is not meant for this type of 
question.
