Wine supports a WoW64 setup, where you build both 32-bit and 64-bit |
| 22 |
wine, and 32- and 64-bit binaries are interoperable. I just took a |
| 23 |
brief look at the gentoo ebuild and it appears to enable this if you |
| 24 |
have both win32 and win64 USE flags set. I haven't tried it myself, so |
| 25 |
I can't say if or how it really works. :) |
