OK, so now we're on the same page. Sorry for the misunderstanding. In fact,
I've tried compiling my project (a Wine DLL, not an executable, which will only
yield an *.so) with LIBRARY_PATH set as you did and got the very same error
messages about dangerous relocations relating to R_AMD64_IMAGEBASE.

The point of this bug is not that the libraries (*.so, which AFAICT also come
from wine-devel) are missing though, since those are available in the packages,
but that the archive files (*.a) are missing, which would enable correct
linking without any path shenanigans.

The 32-bit archive files are present but the 64-bit ones are missing. (In fact,
my source copy of Wine does not build the *.so files for 32-bit Unix even when
using --enable-archs=i386,x86_64)

I noticed in the build logs that both variants of the wine-devel package do not
explicitly define which architecture to enable, so I guess that this could be
causing the problem of missing 64-bit archive files?

I will try to build Wine from source on my machine once again and I'll play
around with the --enable-archs switch a little bit. Not sure when I'll have
time for that though, but will report back with any results.
