"wine: failed to initialize:

is caused by Wine attempting to mmap memory outside the user process
address space. I see mmap addr around 0xd8100000 (mostly 0xd81eccd8)
whereas the user address space limit on FreeBSD current is 0xbfc00000
(at least on my system).

I ran a test of mmap on FreeBSD current to see what address space I
was able to mmap. Using objdump to identify the pages that the test
program was linked to load in, the test program was able to mmap MAP_ANON,
MAP_FIXED, MAP_NOCORE all memory from 0x0 to 0xbfc00000, except the
pages at which the test program was mapped at.
Thanks for the fine analysis, John!
I wonder, is there some way to avoid the "bad" mmapping on FreeBSD, change
Wine, or do we have to get FreeBSD changes?
