Bug ID: 58300
           Summary: Steam fails to start with --without-mingw
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.8
          Hardware: x86-64

wine-10.8-247-ge0bb1dba3d6 console output
The Steam client appears to repeatedly crash when attempting to start its GPU
process if Wine is built --without-mingw.
When Wine is built --with-mingw this can be worked around with arial (Bug
32342), but when built --without-mingw the workaround appears not to work.
I tried with and without GPU-accelerated web views and it makes no difference.
I tried adding the whole of corefonts but it makes no difference.
Attached log shows the process trying to start before HUPing steam.exe.
Built in a Debian Stable chroot.
I tried Wine 9.0 but the result is the same. Wine 8.0.1 has other issues so I
stopped there. It doesn't look like a regression, probably an updated client.
The client auto-updates so I have saved the wineprefix for further testing.
