Possibly something is going wrong with the use of "DEMO_EMBED"
More diagnosis on https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60022
upstream, and I've proposed a patch that seems to build successfully on
both armhf and amd64 (attached).
Unfortunately, most of the test suite fails when I try this in an armhf
schroot on amdahl, but I think that's an orthogonal issue which I'll
report separately.

Subject: demos: Use STT_OBJECT syntax when emulating #embed
As documented in <https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Type.html>,
the `@object` syntax won't work on all architectures, because `@`
is a comment prefix on some architectures. According to
<https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/ARM_002dChars.html>,
32-bit ARM is one of those architectures.
Use the STT_OBJECT syntax instead, which is recommended in
<https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Type.html> as being supported
by GNU `as` on all architectures.
