I can run 64 bit apps under a 32 bit version of QEMU, and I can run 32 bit apps under a 64 bit Linux kernel. I'm under the impression Wine handles system calls for a process, ala User Mode Linux. Wine is _already_ letting you run 16 bit code from a 32 bit context, or it wouldn't work. I take it you mean that Wine can't provide a 32 bit Windows context from a 64 bit Wine server process? (The process handling the calls and the process it's making calls to have to be running in the same mode because Wine can't do a context switch and thunking?) What if Wine is statically linked? (You should be able to run a statically linked 32 bit app on a pure 64 bit x86-64 system, right?)
