Actually turns out that Wine doesn't like that the sound library is 
missing. So, installing libjack make it barf less..
Actually compiling in Wine now with your package, though _sooo_ much 
slower than on XP :-)

Yes, I know cross-compiling is faster. But if using this package would 
compile successfully on Linux too, then we only need to maintain one 
MinGW setup for compiling Git on both Windows and Linux. Worth a try 
at least.
