Wine builds as a 32-bit app by default. Judging by your config.log, you don't 
have any 32-bit emulation libraries installed, and a variety of these are 
needed to build Wine. If you build Wine as a 64-bit app, you'll only be able 
to run 64-bit Windows applications.

I don't use the apt packages, so I won't comment on them beyond noting that 
there does appear to be packages here:
