I don't know an answer for that problem, but for the next:

Yes, in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt there's an example
with Wine.

In case you don't have that file: if your kernel was built with
binfmt_misc support (= if you have the pseudo file
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register), you can use:

echo ':DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/local/bin/wine:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
