I cannot say that replacing your system gcc with older version just to compile
single program is good idea, if in distribution of your choice gcc-4.6 is
default then there is a reason for that and by performing sudo make install you
playing with fire there!

Instead you should've used --prefix when you run configure, you did run
./configure script before make in gcc-4.5.2, did you?
Here how I run configure when I thought needed gcc-4.5.2:
./configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.5.2 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
and thanks to --prefix when you sudo make install it will install it in
/opt/gcc-4.5.2 consecutively to compile wine you will need to point it's
configure to where to look for gcc:
./configure --prefix=/opt/wine CC=/opt/gcc-4.5.2/bin/gcc
CXX=/opt/gcc-4.5.2/bin/c++ CPP=/opt/gcc-4.5.2/bin/cpp
