DYNAMICBASE by itself is not meaningful for .exe.so binaries, they are mapped by the Unix loader anyway, which provides its own ASLR.
From my understanding, `winebuild` influences the PE section of this binary, which IS meaningful. This is reinforced by the fact that our plugins stop crashing when it's disabled.
The `HIGHENTROPYVA` should have no effect if `DYNAMICBASE` is off, so I can see a "not meaningful" there (but only on mutual exclusion), but I wanted to keep the PR as simple as possible.
I understand that Unix has [its own ASLR that's on by default](https://askubuntu.com/questions/318315), but to deny the meaningfulness of this flag seems -- respectively -- incorrect. This regression was introduced with 518e394794160818ffe6826c874ff2f550c95bbb and can be reverted just the same. I'm only asking to give `winegcc` (or more specifically `winebuild`) devs the ability to control it.
