I don't think that it's a good idea. Apparently Mingw uses msvcrt.dll
as its C run-time library and wcstol is imported from there.

It would be much better to use functions provided by Wine dlls as much
as possible. Especially in the cases when wcstol is imported by kernel,
user or gdi, which certainly could not import msvcrt.dll, but must rely
on the functionality provided by ntdll instead.

By the way, do you have a plan for using low level functionality provided
by an underlying system such as selector management, process and thread
creation and similar things?
