Took me some time but now I can confirm that clang-built wine-1.5.16
works fine for me with gcc-built lib32 (i.e. ld-elf32.so.1 + /usr/lib32).

My experience varies between clang-built and gcc-built wine.

So, why not switch stack alignment in wine (upstream)? This would make
/stable/9 wine package continue to work on /head.

Here's my wine package built with and without the patch.
