It is just a warning.

Indeed. The problem is that Wine's emulation of Windows is buggy here,
so it returns an error code instead of the expected data.

Sure -- I believe the self-test is running under Wine when I built my
binary Windows build.

The binaries on http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/ are built with
libgcrypt. See the Makefile for how to build libssh2 using debian's
mingw + wine. You'll need binfmt_support to make Windows binaries be
ran under Wine automatically.
