I checked, and apparently that's how it (still) works on Linux; so it
seems that's the reason, not aout vs elf.

Can you install the patch nevertheless?

I have already contacted the Wine folks to discuss a fix, and without my
patch the Wine port is still incomplete (while the feature to use it as
an API does not work without that very patch at all as well: Not even the
include files are installed without it).

I'll then take care of the SOVERSION issue, one way or the other...
