Description

@mstorsjo has mentioned before that he uses wine on arm64 to help debug arm64 windows binaries (I think this was when we were having unwinding issues, but that's not important now).

There has been some mention of betas of arm64 runners (probably just linux, but the hope is always there that they'll have a windows one), but for right now I think we just have an arm64 macos for public runners. Unfortunately, I'm not a mac user, a docker user, or a wine developer/builder, so I don't really know where to start. It seems like the published mac binaries of wine don't have arm64 windows binary support enabled.

Research direction

Start by examining the repository's Docker image definitions and any GitHub Actions configuration, then verify what arm64 macOS runners and published Wine binaries support. Done means establishing a reproducible arm64 variant with arm64 Windows binary support, but the issue does not identify a file, test, or implementation path.
