[Bug 47025] New: wine cannot run exe created with winegcc: "Bad EXE Format "

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47025

Bug ID: 47025
           Summary: wine cannot run exe created with winegcc: "Bad EXE
                    Format"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.6
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Full steps to reproduce from cloning the Wine source tree:

$ git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git
$ mkdir wine64_build

$ cd wine64_build
$ ../wine/configure --enable-win64
$ make
$ cd ..

$ mkdir test_program
$ cd test_program
$ echo 'int main() { return 0; }' > main.c
$ PATH="$PATH:../wine64_build/tools/winebuild/"
/home/rofl/wine64-build-debug/tools/winegcc/winegcc
-L/home/rofl/wine64-build-debug/dlls/advapi32
-L/home/rofl/wine64-build-debug/dlls/user32
-L/home/rofl/wine64-build-debug/dlls/ntdll/
-L/home/rofl/wine64-build-debug/dlls/winecrt0
-L/home/rofl/wine64-build-debug/dlls/kernel32
-L/home/rofl/wine64-build-debug/libs/wine/ main.c -o main
$ ../wine64_build/wine64 ./main.exe

On my machine, the last command outputs

wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\rofl\test_program\main.exe.

Is this expected behavior meaning I'm using winegcc incorrectly, or is this a
bug?

$ winegcc ~/Downloads/temp.c -o a.exe
$ file a.exe
a.exe: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable
$ vim a.exe

winegcc produce a script as a result. You use mingw toolchains to produce a
windows binary if you want exe.

Apparently I have to run `main.exe.so` and not `main.exe` with wine.

Strangely, I had this output:

$ file main.exe
main.exe: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows

but cannot figure out how that happened - presently when I run the same build
script main.exe is a shell script.
