It's most probably the call to "update-desktop-database" in
tools/Makefile while doing the make install part.

If using the Gentoo e-package (or whatever the name, I can't be bothered
to check the exact name), file a bug to Gentoo and ask them to add
UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE=/bin/true to the make install line in the rules.
But then you'll need to run it sometime after if you want the connection
between .exe and wine to be made.

Is ldconfig replaced while building a package under Gentoo? Because, you
know, wine's make install does run ldconfig, and it should change its
cache file in /etc...

Side note: you shouldn't need to make install as root if the result goes
to a sandbox...
