Frankly I can't think of any project that would need that. It's just
historical noise, far pointers have fortunately gone the way of the
dinosaur. I'd suggest doing a s/__RPC_FAR// on the midl output before
comparison and avoiding it in Wine. In fact we explicitly forbid use
of FAR in Wine, and __RPC_FAR should probably be treated the same
way.
