I just hit this, and spent 10 minutes scratching my head. Completely agree with
Ken Sharp on the error message.

For years, I have been creating new prefixes with something like:

abolte at host:/a/very/long/path/i/dont/want/to/type$ mkdir steam && cd steam
abolte at host:/a/very/long/path/i/dont/want/to/type$ WINEPREFIX="$(pwd)" wine
SteamSetup.exe

A few months ago I started using 64-bit prefixes for everything due to certain
application requirements, and today I discovered I needed a new 32-bit prefix
for winetricks to install a different app, and hit this. For a few minutes
there I thought I must not have compiled or installed Wine correctly. Seems
like a trivial change to improve usability of the software.
