A library function runs in the context of the process that invokes it.
A library doesn't have its own TEB/memory layout/exception handling
that works independently of the process that calls it, no matter how
it is compiled. If the wine plugin API is ever made, it will modify
the process so it has what the library expects when the library
functions are called.

Does your Arithmetic.dll.so call any Windows functions? If so, you
need wine and you will always need wine, plugin API or no plugin API,
whether you compile it into a DLL or .dll.so. But if you only use ANCI
C stuff you can compile it into a .so and use it without wine.

If you want something that runs seamlessly on every operating system
today, IMHO you should consider Java.
