You should probably use Wine 1.1.5 at this point if you want to have something
more current. The only step that you need to change is the configure. Instead
of these typical steps:
./configure
make depend
make
You would use this:
CC="gcc-4.1" ./configure
make depend
make
You will of course need to have the gcc-4.1 package installed in order to use
it, and here on my debianish Ubuntu, gcc 4.1 can peacefully coexist alongside
gcc 4.2.x without issue.
I also prefer to put Wine into /usr (rather than /usr/local ) and then use
checkinstall to generate a deb, so my own personal scheme looks like this:
CC="gcc-4.1" ./configure --prefix=/usr
make depend && make
sudo checkinstall --install=no
sudo dpkg -i [whatever_package_you_just_created].deb
Checkinstall unfortunately is not without it's quirky problems... it helps
to have both wine and wine-dev packages installed prior to running checkinstall.
