OK, it seems to be that the preloader can't lookup the ELF symbol 
"wine_main_preload_info" in wine-pthread.

That's bad, because the preloader is reserving memory, but has no way to 
let wine-pthread know which memory it reserved.

Can you see that symbol exported from wine-pthread?

7bf023d8 B wine_main_preload_info

Also, which version of gcc/ld are you using?  For me:

GNU ld version 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux
gcc version 4.1.2 20060715 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-9)
