I rather hoped it would be possible to relocate the PE header somehow so that
it sits right before the ELF .text section.
For example by putting the PE header in an extra section and
then with a custom linker script put that section in front of the text
section.(which I think should work at least theoretically ;) )
But I'm still trying to understand how all that building/linking&loading stuff
exactly works in wine, so no guarantees it is possible at all.

The game was Stronghold patched to V1.2 which reported SafeDisc 2.60.something.
And it definitely didn't work with wine-0.9.48(and dropping -fPIC). But after
updating to the latest git today it suddenly works :). Maybe it was that ioctl
problem that got fixed.(forgot the bug number). Will test it with some other
games as well when I find the time.
