Hi Dmitry,

I never said it was a bug.  I asked you to make it an "Enhancement" to be kind
to the next poor sod trying to compiling Wine and getting this
weird/bogus/nonsensical error.  And to cut down on the poor guys on the forum
that have to constantly answer this question for other poor sods.  

I am asking for this "Enhancement" to be kind to others.
