Since commit cb87d40cd4a8837826ea76efc91371ab09eb9d63 I have been unable to
create a 64-bit wineprefix when I build Wine. This is running without first
using "make install".

wine: created the configuration directory '/tmp/wine/wineprefix'
wine: WINEARCH set to win64 but '/tmp/wine/wineprefix' is a 32-bit
installation.

Whereas /tmp/wine/wineprefix does not initially exist. It is created by Wine,
but then insists it's 32-bit and immediately exits.

- New wow64 works fine
- 32-bit works fine
- -O0 and -O2 make no difference
- The prebuilt debs work fine

makefiles: Create wine as a symlink to tools/wine/wine.

This commit cannot be reverted, but checking out the commit before fixes the
issue.

My process as per
https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Building-Wine#shared-wow64

1. Build 64-bit-only
2. Build 32-bit
3. Build 64-bit-wow

This is the same process I have always used.

I know there's been a number of changes in this area so I don't know how to
work around it.

In all cases I use Debian Stable chroots (with schroot) but the same result
using Debian Testing.

If it's me doing something stupid then I apologise in advance.
