I would like to run wine. I have compiled qemu 0.15.5 from git and I noticed we can enable nptl without a patch. I can run an x86 nptl bash but I havent tried to chroot. I have the posix wine running with qemu... So i tried it with wine and I am able to get a --version out of it, but when I actually run it, it does a fork. It will ask for library files and I will stick them in /usr/gnemul/qemu-i386/usr/lib one at a time and everntually it stops asking for files and just errors out.

Tried 0.9.22, 1.01 and 1.21... Stole files from Ubuntu 5, Ubuntu 9, etc.

root@localhost:/wine/usr/lib# wine-pthread
wine-pthread

On Posix it does an unsuportive syscall of 254 but works. I have seen it do a 240 though, but thats when its asking for library files.. I cant help but wonder if its needing a file, though not asking me.
