Weird. It also works if you turn exec shield off. I presume that setarch is
doing exactly that, somehow? The updated version of the exec shield
"announce" file explains that gcc and binutils are supposed to automatically
deterimine stack-executability requirements. Is the fact that wine doesn't
work with exec shield a bug in gcc, then?
