Generally if you want to run x86 Windows applications run both configure and 
make with arch -x86_64. Then it will all behave as if you were on an Intel CPU 
mac. You don't need to run the built wine with arch because it will be an 
x86_64 only binary.

If you want to build things for arm to run arm64 Windows binaries you are in a 
world of trouble:

* MacOS won't allow you to map anything below 4 GB, so Wine can't place the 
KSHARED_USER_DATA at 0x7ffe0000.

* ARM MacOS has 16 kb pages whereas Windows has 4kb ones.

We are working on both of those issues, but running an arm64 wine is going to 
take a while.
