Well, it doesn't quite work yet :-/

Yes, wrc is broken here; it thinks it need to byte-swap although the
message compiler already wrote the file in big-endian. Thus, it gets
nonsense length values and crashes subsequently.
wrc is further broken in that is does not cope with unaligned data
found in binary input files or raw data (e.g. icons etc.), and hence
causes bus errors on Sparc.
winebuild is also broken in that it always generates i386 assembly
code for import thunks and constructor/destructor stubs.
Various parts of the main source are also not alignment safe.
I have from time to time tried to fix those problems, but it's not
complete yet. I could try this weekend to clean up the patches
already in my tree, so that it'll at least be possible to compile
Winelib ...
Bye,
Ulrich
