Every X11 extension (which libXrender is) depends on libXext, that's an X11
dependency, not a Wine one. You should report broken package dependencies
to your distro, not here. Wine can't and shouldn't detect broken package
dependencies. Exactly same applies for a zlib dependency.

IMHO ordinal/not experienced users should not waste their and others people
time trying to build wine/kernel/any other non-trivial thing/, there are
binary packages for them to install/use.
