Actually this isn't big trouble. By doing few reverse regression tests I was
able to find what patches I need to apply to wine-0.9 to compile it
successfully on modern system (see my answer to Remi G. for more
information).
I think that we should have instructions explaining how to do reverse
regression tests (for example in http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting ).
This may help users to solve such problems without asking for help at
wine-users.
I can prepare such instructions for the wiki. But I have no idea how to do
this, I even don't know what tags I need to use in text. If anyone can help
with this, please contact with me privately and we discuss details. Thanks.
