[1] 20817 segmentation fault (core dumped) box64 ./winecfg
You have a 16K pagesize kernel, and wine will only work with 4K pagesize. Please switch your kernel to 4K and will work.
Can't I get around it? And how change pagesize without new kernel?
On RPI5, changing kernel pagesize is just a setting in a text file. Look here for example https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-page-size/
No, there is no workaround for now. While Box64 is able to run some x86 software on 16K pagesize (including wine), Wine will not load x86 .exe on non-4K pagesize by default. (wine can handle different pagesize, but that code is not enable for x86 build).
Switch your kernel to 4K and all should work fine.
