The problem is you are using an install of wine that is meant to be user
friendly.  IME user-friendly is program-developer-hostile.

It has wrapped the wine executable inside a shell script, so when you
think you are running wine you are really running what I know as
winelauncher.  I don't know how that is 'spoze to work for winelib
programs, but I don't think it accounts for you trying to make a winelib
program of your own.

try (in the directory where WinelibTest.so is)

WINEPRELOAD=./WinelibTest.so /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin

(if /opt/wine/bin is in PATH, you don't need it on the command line, but
I am not taking any chances :-)
Or also you can remove the old symbolic link and make one to to
/opt/wine/bin/wine.bin.
(again in the directory where WinelibTest.so is)

ln -s /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin WinelibTest
