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...
