vitamin thanks for the suggestion. Turns out that the 32 bit development libraries were not installed for zlib and that was causing the problem with freetype. Just needed to install zlib-devel.i386 to fix the configuration problem.
Unfortunately the main problem still remains that httpapi_main.c will not compile. Still getting:
gcc -m32 -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -D__WINESRC__ -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wstrict-prototypes -Wtype-limits -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -g -O2 -o httpapi_main.o httpapi_main.c
In file included from ../../include/http.h:25,
from httpapi_main.c:27:
../../include/ws2tcpip.h:57: error: conflicting types for 'socklen_t'
/usr/include/unistd.h:245: error: previous declaration of 'socklen_t' was here
