For anyone interested in that, the most apparent reason why WINE
currently can't run a cross-build of psql.exe or postgres.exe on a
Linux/FreeBSD/macOS host is now on their bug list[1] and just needs
someone to write an easy patch. I dimly recall there were more subtle
things that broke here and there before the relevant change of ours
went in, and it would be pretty cool if we could make a list and
report 'em...
