I also managed to greatly improve the build time, by selectively bulding
only the host tools:

    # Wine only needs the host tools to be built, so cut-down the
    # build time by building just what we need.
    define HOST_WINE_BUILD_CMDS
        $(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) -C $(@D) tools tools/widl tools/winebuild \
                tools/winedump tools/winegcc tools/wmc tools/wrc
    endef

    # Wine only needs its host variant to be built, not that it is
    # installed, as it uses the tools from the build directory. But
    # we have no way in Buildroot to state that a host package should
    # not be installed. So, just provide an noop install command.
    define HOST_WINE_INSTALL_CMDS
        :
    endef

There is no reason to build the full host variant, when we are only
interested in the tools. And among those I select above, some might even
not be needed; I'll leave that to you to decide if we can trim that list
even further down. ;-)

And off am I, FOSDEM week-end incoming! :-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
