I routinely build Wine tests with PSDK headers and tools when I start
working on some area in Wine which needs tests. Probably a few other
people build Wine tests under Windows as well, but probably most of
developers simply crosscompile since it's way easier.

A test failing to compile with PSDK is a bug, and eventually should be
fixed. I'd suggest to limit the effort by the tests you really need at
this point and make only them build with PSDK as an exersize, once you
do it fixing other tests will be much easier.
