So let's add to that info that gcc 4.2.2 (on gentoo) doesn't work.
As well as recent 4.3-snapshots. (At least that was the status a few
releases back, haven't tested in a while.)
But they did work if you compile with -fstack-protector. And some
distros(I think Ubuntu for example) patch gcc to use that flag by default.
And at least with gcc-4.2.2 it was always very close at the line
between working and non-working. Just a few changes in gdi/kernel/user
could make a difference. So it might even vary between single wine releases.

You want to put and more importantly maintain all those details in the
src code?

I don't think that this is such a great idea. But hey, that's just my
opinion.
