Re: [PATCH 0/7] MR9579: ntdll: On macOS, transform the main thread into a Wine thread (running a CFRunLoop) on launch.

I might be misunderstanding things, but couldn't we just create the Wine thread but then never jump to PE code? If I'm reading correctly, nothing we want a Wine thread for actually requires PE code to have ever run in the process.
