They might be part of XFree86-4.x, but I don't have them.
rpm -q XFree86
XFree86-3.3.5-3mdk
and I doubt they are in any earlier XFree86 than 4.
Well, you could take the bull by the horns and upgrade to the newest
XFree86, or upgrade to the newest RH release, or get a Wine rpm that
suits your system, or get the Wine source and brew your own Wine.
If you want an rpm, you can build one from the source rpm (directory
SRPMS in the distro, IIRC). Wine doesn't need those libraries unless
they were present when it was ./configured...
