Probably it's another case of some kind of the "security" kernel patch
which marks the area starting from 0x40000000 as a "not executable stack"
and doesn't allow Wine to mmap it.

.exe's produced by the MS linker are not relocateable by default. In order
to make them relocateable you can either add '/fixed:no' to the linker
command line, or add the string '#pragma comment(linker, "/fixed:no")'
to one of your sources.
