This won't currently work anyway. MinGW packages are noarch. koji builders will select any free builder, and often use ppc or ppc64 builders. On ppc machines, wine will not work. So if you want this to work, you need to file an RFE for koji.

Actually there's an even more fundamental problem - Wine requires an X server and a $HOME directory to function, and for those reasons I never managed to get it to run under Koji (even using Xvfb).

2. The reason GNU Smalltalk's build needs Wine is not needing runtime tests,

but rather that it needs to run itself to complete the build. This is not related to this bug.

I'm guessing this is a bootstrapping problem - ie. the Smalltalk compiler/runtime is written in Smalltalk, so must be compiled using Smalltalk.

We have other packages like this (certainly mingw32-ocaml, possibly our Tcl package too). The standard solution is to BuildRequire the *native* package, and use that to run the bits that need to be run during the build.

With OCaml this was especially complex, but that's what we did.
