To answer my own question, here's what I did:

Go to kioji.fedoraproject.org and search for the m4 package. Download,
rebuild and install the latest version m4-1.4.13.4. Fedora 12 already
has this so you can skip this step.

Install erlang and emacs if you don't have it installed already.

Download, rebuild and install the latest autoconf package for Fedora 13,
autoconf-2.65-1.fc13.src.rpm. Rebuild and install.

Wine will now build.
