Enabling wow64 by default for x86_64-glibc Wine
Background
Currently, wine in void-packages has wow64 enabled by default only when XBPS_TARGET_LIBC=musl.
Proposal
Enable the wow64 build-option by default for x86_64-glibc as well, so that out-of-the-box Wine supports 32-bit Windows applications on pure 64-bit hosts.
Rationale
- Aligns with upstream Wine’s WoW64 focus and Arch’s recent transition
- Removes an extra step for glibc users who expect 32-bit support without multilib
- Simplifies maintenance of multilib configurations
Considerations
- Existing 32-bit prefixes will need recreation
- Potential OpenGL performance regressions under WoW64
