Ok, I have done the first round of testing on my new wine with the above fix.  
The above fix does allow wine to compile, but there do seem to be some 
runtime problems that remain.  

I have a stand alone installation of wine.  First I tried to install an app 
and ran into the following message:

err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin advapi32.dll: 
/usr/local/wine/lib/wine/advapi32.dll.so: undefined symbol: GetComputerNameW
err:module:import_dll Loading module (file) ADVAPI32.dll (which is needed by 
D:\setup.exe) failed (error -1073741702).

I did the following in lib/wine:

for FILE in `ls *.so`; do objdump -t $FILE | grep GetComputerNameW && ls -l 
$FILE; done

and see that all files that that define this symbol are links to 
kernel32.dll.so.

The problem seems obvious when I do:

ldd advapi32.dll.so

        libwine.so.1 => /usr/local/wine/lib/libwine.so.1 (0x40042000)
        libwine_unicode.so.1 => /usr/local/wine/lib/libwine_unicode.so.1 
(0x4005a000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4013b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4015d000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40285000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

It appears that advapi32.dll.so does not claim to need kernel32.dll.so, but it 
does!  Any ideas on what went wrong?  Regedit did not run for a similar 
reason.  Thanks for your help.
