Description

If you try to build bleeding-edge using the new wow64 mode, wine will fail to load with this error:

0024:err:environ:run_wineboot failed to start wineboot 1                                                 
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135

I bisected the issue to commit 90855a2993e

Research direction

Start by inspecting commit 90855a2993e and reproducing a bleeding-edge build with the new wow64 mode. Trace the change associated with the reported kernel32.dll and wineboot failure; done means Wine builds and loads successfully in wow64 mode without the reported error.
