Start by compiling vanilla wine, to make sure it's not one of the staging
patches.

That said, it's more likely a change in gcc. I've noticed breakages in
wine64 for a few major gcc version changes. You'll definitely want to take
advantage of git bisect run for this. See
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33307,
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36139, et al.

More explicitly, you'll need a shell script that:
Builds gcc, installs it somewhere, then uses that gcc to compile wine64
(and 32-bit, you need both), then run wineboot. It should exit 125 for any
compiling issues, 0 for success, non-zero/125 otherwise. git will do the
rest, but it will take a while (took ~30 hours on a decent workstation the
last time I tried).
