Looks like bad news. Here's what I did:

0) set up automatic use of Wine:

> sudo echo ':DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine:' > 
> /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

1) made config.site:

> cat usr/i686-pc-mingw32/share/config.site
> ac_cv_build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

2) Removed the --build option from curl.mk.

3) make curl

The buld goes wrong in the usual place:

[..]
> checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config

Adding the same config.site file to usr/share does not help.
