I am the one who sends these persistent messages.  Some users of my packages 
reported that wine didn't run due to a clang compiled world.  I never verified 
them (although I got multiple reports).  With the updates to clang it may have 
also been corrected.  

I attributed the problem to clang miscompiling a library in base used by wine 
and Volodymyr, I think, confirms this:
