Are you saying you could build Wine with MinGW before this patch?

I suspect .previous is ELF specific? Don't know if it's worth fixing
this since AFAICS this code is about portability toward Unix platforms
and now we're trying to build PE executables from it with MinGW. Cygwin
might be an interesting target in this respect though.

Yes, .previous is ELF specific. It reverts the assembler to generating
output in whatever the previous section was, so if you write:

.text
blah blah blah
.previous

then you are now back in the section you were before .text - PE doesn't
really have the same idea of sections as ELF does.
