I can't see that it's anything to do with your undefined symbol, but it
seems wineinstall was broken in that release.  --config is not any
longer an option to wine or winelib programs.  I expect it has been
fixed in the current release (Wine-20010216).  Since you already have
the source, you may as well get the patch file (from the same sites as
in the ANNOUNCE) and get up to date.

The README tells how to update by patch at the end of section 4.  It is
easy.  I have been doing it since May 1997.

I couldn't find any reference to sysconf in /usr/local/lib anywhere.
sysconf is defined in glibc, so the dynamic linker should have no
trouble to find it, unless you (or RH) installed glibc out in the back
of beyond somewhere.

Hmmm, __sysconf is defined in libc.a.  Did you configure with some
option to _not_ use shared libraries?  Odd.
