ok. So, this does indeed seem like a blocker to completely dropping i686 now. But then perhaps we could (as suggested elsewhere in the list) figure out all the transitive things that are needed to support building wine.i686 and we could then know we could drop everything else? But perhaps indeed the orig proposal is best for now (ie, it's ok to drop your leaf package from building on i686). kevin
