I think we still have the problem that gcc doesn't support the calling convention Win64 uses, so we can't compile a Wine that is compatible with Win64 apps.
In the meantime we can work on the long vs. LONG issue: * there are a number of places where the Windows SDK uses 'long'. But on Win64 'long' is 32bit, while every other 64bit platform treats it as 64bit. * in Wine's headers and in the code there are plenty of places where we use long where we really want a 32bit integer for 64bit.
The fix for all these is to replace 'long' with 'LONG' which Wine keeps 32bit just like Windows (though I wonder if we should not use something lile 'wine_long' instead).
This is not awfully complex stuff but there's a ton of it. So we might as well start now so that we're ready when the time comes.
