Do you really install unstable packages with all their dependencies? If
yes, this site might be worth a look: http://backports.org/

Is there a reason for you to not use the official wine CVS? The snapshot
you want to compile is very old (2004<->2006). Wine became much better
in these years and I thought I read in another thread that someone
failed to compile an old wine, too. I would recommend to use the winehq
CVS: http://winehq.org/site/cvs
If CVS is not installed on your machine you have to do "apt-get install
cvs" first. The instructions on this site gives you the latest wine but
I think there is also a CVS option (-D) to checkout a specified date. I
never used it but "man cvs" is your friend ;)
Besides I don't think that another kernel will help you to compile. But
it might be possible that the program works under one kernel and not
under another...
