 Building and running wine under amd64 is not possible.
 
 Members of the German community BSDForen.de have experimented
 with 32-bit jails (you need to copy some ld.elf.so stuff into
 the jail and mount the 32-bit compat base libraries into it to
 get that running) and a parallel 32 bit hierarchy under
 /usr/local32 (which can be achieved by setting lots of
 environment variables).
 
 There is a linker bug in the 32 bit compatibility layer
 that prevents the resolution of indirect links.
 Until this bug is fixed 32-bit jails or a 32-bit
 hierarchy is entirely useless. If this bug should be fixed,
 be assured that we shall thoroughly document our means of
 building and running 32-bit wine under FreeBSD on the
 official wiki.
