This is correct, out of morbid curiosity (back when I still had some free
time) I wrote a prototype "Linux WoW64" wrapper and I can say that this
100% works without doing anything in PE.  I say morbid curiosity because I
made this tool able to simultaneously load 32-bit and 64-bit libraries in
the same program and be able to create 32-bit thunks from a library's
headers and that whole process is ... interesting.

Heh, good memory - my "writeup" was more of a TLDR for end-users.  This is
_far_ more complete and covers a lot of the technical issues that get
solved along the way.

Best,
