I tested it too in Trusty.
Linux 3.13.0-32-generic from -proposed (used Synaptic to upgrade).
Package linux-generic version 3.13.0.32.38.

I can now do "sudo sysctl abi.ldt16=1" to activate 16 bit support.
Setting Windows 95 in winecfg now works correctly.
Old 16 bit executables now start correctly (tried Elifoot 98 on an older version of 32 bit Wine using PlayOnLinux).
Setting the option to 0 makes these issues return to the old behavior (as it should).

It was a short test, so I don't know if there are regressions elsewhere or if the 16 bit executables still run exactly as before this problem. But this issue seems to be fixed

@Ivan, to change the tags, look under the description of the bug, right above "Related branches", and click on the "pencil" (edit) button. But don't worry, I'll change it.
