What problems does this cause?
It makes Wine use more memory than it needs to.

Can't we achieve that just by avoiding the mapping of the "mmap" identifier to the _mmap$UNIX2003 symbol?
We could for 32-bit, but not 64-bit.
And does the problem still matter in 64-bit?
Also, are unaligned PE images also prevalent for 64-bit executables? There are many cases in which 64-bit ABIs impose stricter alignment requirements. I don't know if this is one of them.
