When you downloaded the patch from the Transgaming site, and it said, in
large, bold font:

"For instructions on how to use the patch, read the release note at the
beginning of the file."

Did you?

This message was just above the links for the .diff.gz files
(transgaming_20010127.diff.gz and winehq_update.diff.gz).

There's a pretty detailed set of instructions at the top of the
transgaming diff file. The short version:

$ patch -p1 < winehq_update.diff
$ patch -p1 < transgaming_20010127.diff

You must apply both patches, and they must be applied in that order.
After applying the patches, rerun ./configure and rebuild.

Enjoy,
