This statement is not true in general.
Actually 64-bit Wine build works just fine without any 32-bit part. That's just a useless configuration, but it's a minor detail.
It depends on your definion of "works just fine". Various parts of wine contain hardcoded paths to 32-bit executables, which can't work in a pure 64-bit build.
By "works just fine" I mean that 64-bit Wine build is able to execute 64-bit Windows applications and built-in Wine programs.
programs/winemenubuilder/winemenubuilder.c: fprintf(file, "Exec=env WINEPREFIX="%s" wine %s %s\n",
tools/wineapploader.in exec wine "$appname" "$@"
That's just a symlink to the launcher, and probably it should depend on actual build.
Not sure if there is a way to express it a bit better, but I think in general it probably wouldn't hurt to have this documented somewhere in the source tree.
Sure.
