Currently I build wine-2.8 on machine with:
 * Linux-v2.4.27-3-386
 * gcc-v3.3.5
 * libc6-v2.3.2

There were few failures which I overcome by not building these components:
 * dwrite
 * winealsa.drv
 * wmvcore
 * ws2_32
 * programs/winhlp32

When I run winecfg, I got:

wine: glibc >= 2.3 without NPTL or TLS is not a supported combination.
      Please upgrade to a glibc with NPTL support.


Should I interpret that message, that:
 1. NPTL is required
 2. I should use glibc-2.2 or lower

If 1) that's probably end of game per https://lwn.net/Articles/10465/
 * "- The 2.5.36 kernel or above must be installed and used."
 * "The current snapshot for glibc 2.3 (or glibc 2.3 when released) is
    necessary."
 * "The general compiler requirement for glibc is at least gcc 3.2."


So for further steps 1) or 2) ?


wmvcore and winhlp32 look like a real bugs. Others failures can
be probably be solved by using newer components. I can open
bugreports, if anyone is interested.
