gcc -- 2.7.x required (Wine uses attribute stdcall).
Versions earlier than 2.7.2.3 barf on shellord.c

In addition EGCS 1.1.x and GCC 2.95.x are reported
to work fine.

<title>Space required</title>
<para>
You also need about 230 MB of available disk space for compilation.
The compiled libwine.so binary takes around 5 MB of disk space,
which can be reduced to about 1 MB by stripping ('strip wine').
Stripping is not recommended, however, as you can't submit
proper crash reports with a stripped binary any more.

<title>Common problems</title>
<para>
If you get a repeatable sig11 compiling shellord.c, thunk.c
or other files, try compiling just that file without optimization.
Then you should be able to finish the build.
