Interesting that Wine aims to do the WOW64 thing. That's certainly news to

Not really surprising. There's an IsWow64Process() in the Windows API
to allow processes to detect the nature of the environment they're
running on, since sometimes that's something you need to know. :)
WOW64 relies on 32-bit libraries to do it's job though. It's well known
that 32-bit code cannot link against 64-bit libraries. If building a
64-bit only version of Wine (since you cannot build any 32-bit code on
non-multilib Gentoo), the question arises on how Wine is doing it.
