--- Comment #21 from Gerald Pfeifer <gerald@FreeBSD.org> ---

I have a nightly builder and ensure it keeps building on x86-64 (aka amd64).

Without that, Wine on FreeBSD would be several layers deep into build
failures.

I have not been using Wine on FreeBSD for ... two decades, since I switched
to Linux on my desktop/notebook upon a job change.

I believe the way out is to rip off the band aid that the legacy
implementation of WoW64 on FreeBSD is and move to what upstream
has been working on for the last two years. Wine 8.0 has a first
implementation thereof, and in the meantime Wine 8.x (wine-devel)
is rather complete.

That does require some work on the toolchain which has been stuck.
I plan on removing the old, which as you found, does not work even
once you got it build on i386, and add notes for someone to pick up
and add the missing pieces in the next weeks.
