? You were talking about something being overwritten with a
native copy by an installer, but you can see from the log
that no installer was run.

OK:

$ file /home/dank/wine/programs/regsvr32.exe.so
/home/dank/wine/programs/regsvr32.exe.so: symbolic link to
`regsvr32/regsvr32.exe.so'
$ file /home/dank/wine/programs/regsvr32/regsvr32.exe.so
/home/dank/wine/programs/regsvr32/regsvr32.exe.so: ELF 32-bit LSB
shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

What does that tell you?  The file looks like a perfectly good
ELF file, as one would expect.  How do you explain the next line from the log,

$ wine/wine .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/regsvr32.exe
wine: cannot open builtin library for
L"Z:\\home\\dank\\.wine\\drive_c\\windows\\system32\\regsvr32.exe":
/home/dank/wine/programs/regsvr32.exe.so: invalid ELF header
