We already have a wrapper for the .exe.so, we can pass in some flags.
Something like --preload ntdll,kernel,user,gdi,...

Of course, the ideal fix is if wine canfigure things out automatically
from the .exe.so file. Since we are going to have that link script sooner
or later, what about we store this information in a ELF section, and
get it from there before dlopening the file? BTW, how hard would be to get
to such a section?

No, but I guess you can trigger a segfault, and do the fixup in the
signal handler. But regardless, how does Windows deal with this? How
come it works there, and not under Wine?
