--- Comment #8 from Julius Schwartzenberg julius.schwartzenberg@gmail.com --- That bug seems to be unrelated. There someone has two variants of the same Windows binary, one compiled with a Microsoft compiler and one with MinGW. They should behave identical, but the MinGW one doesn't work.
On the building of Wine side, there would be a choice between GCC and MinGW. MinGW is a variant of GCC that outputs Windows compatible PE binaries instead of ELF binaries. Wine always used it to build the test suite for running on Windows and I think recently I saw more and more parts of Wine itself are being compiled as PEs as well.
I have attached the three config.log files from the different builds.
I'm using the same wineprefix with both versions and switch back and forth to see it work/break.
It appears that only later versions had a trial that can be used everywhere. They behave very differently from this version.
