- Allow relocation on x86_64
Is that really needed for Win64? And if so, shouldn't it use a more appropriate address?
The standard load address for 64-bit PE executables is the same as for 32-bit, 0x400000. This is also the standard load address for 64-bit ELF executables. If the Wine loader is not relocated, it won't be able to load the majority of PE executables. Ofcourse, there's no problem with 64-bit Winelib executables. As to the more appropriate address, I'm not sure. I just wanted to get it out of the way. I suppose it could be moved to somewhere around or above 0x7bf0000000000000.
