Because you do not have Wine installed, so that check is not run.  A 
user (not a fedora packager) will have it 99% of the time.

If you do not fix bug 513825, the configure script will get the Linux 
pkg-config, not the cross pkg-config.  Then it will definitely report 
(if you have Wine installed, and with today's Fedora 11) mismatched 
headers and libraries.

Do you want me to prepare a screencast?!?

Yes.
