Try something like:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_bundled_32-bit_system_in_Arch64

You'll have to fill in the details of how to install your distribution's 32bit basesystem. Better yet, you could switch to Arch :D

Once you have a basesystem installed installed in a chroot jail, get the wine source with like:
$ git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine/

Which will put the wine source in your pwd inside the directory "wine"; make sure your chroot has installed your distribution's equivalent of build-essential; then
$ cd wine
$ CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" \
LDFLAGS="-s" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --verbose;

Wait for configure to finish. WINE will tell you which packages it lacks. Some are optional, some are required. You'll have to do a little bit of investigation to make sure your build has support for all the features you want. Next, you can make the package. To speed things up, add the -j flag followed by the number of CPU's you have +1. For instance, for a four core machine:
$ make -j 5

Its best to install your package in a isolated path. Make a dir like /home/you/build and then from the source dir, do:
$ make DESTDIR=/home/you/build/$( ./wine --version)-$( date +%Y%m%d ) install

HOW IT WORKS:
The "$( ./wine --version)-$( date +%Y%m%d )" will direct make to make another directory underneath your /home/you/build path that is named after WINE, its version, and the date. From this stage on you could use your distribution's package manager to carry on from this point, or, you can cd to whichever directory "/home/you/build/$( ./wine --version)-$( date +%Y%m%d )" made, and then do:
$ tar cf - * | ( cd /; sudo tar xf - )

This installs the package. You can uninstall it again by deleting just the same files in that directory from root. You can get a list of files with something like:
$ find * -type f

from that directory.

When WINE has received more git commits, you can sync your source code by cd'ing to your wine source code directory and:
$ git reset --hard origin; git fetch; get rebase origin

Then repeat the your build starting from the "./configure" step. Go back to the Arch wiki article and scroll down to read about executing WINE programs (or any 32bit programs inside the chroot) from outside the chroot with the schroot program.

Hope this helps, cheers
