There are 2 issues when attempting to use winebuild on ARM64
1.  It generates Intel `jmp` instructions which are invalid in aarch64
2.  It attempts to generate `.seh_x` which gcc's assembler cannot handle

This merge request resolves both of those so the build succeeds.

While I agree with changing that region, I don't think removing the jump instruction is much of an improvement. It's there for a reason.

The ARM jump instruction is called `b`.

GCC’s support for ARM64 MinGW is not yet complete enough to build Wine. For now, you’ll need to use Clang.
