This looks odd. Why would the wine package require a reference to its
own source directory? Doesn't sound correct.

Do you realize that Buildroot is used for *cross* compilation?
Therefore pointing the compilation to /usr/lib or /usr/include is just
plain wrong, and is precisely what Buildroot avoids everywhere. What
you're doing here is completely incorrect and has absolutely no chance
of working.

If wine depends on X11 libraries, then your wine package must depend on
the appropriate X11 Buildroot packages.

Best regards,
