Well, the preloader is required to get a Win32 compatible address space. It's
not a kernel 2.4/2.6 thing I'm afraid.

The preloader is a rather unique piece of code, you can be assured these options
are specified for a reason. Why do you want to disable it? Changing the options
here provides no additional security whatsoever as the preloader cannot be
exploited via buffer-overflows. You're far more likely to be compromised via the
software you run on it.

There was a discussion about this on wine-devel in the past few days.
