Well, that looks bad, and it really should be working better than that, but
I would point out that (at least, the last time I checked), wine does not
behave correctly with regards to some of the date/time stuff, so some of the
std.datetime tests will fail with wine, and fixing that requires that wine
start behaving like Windows like it's supposed to. So, best case, at least
some Phobos tests will fail under wine, but it _should_ work to at least
build and use dmd and Phobos under wine. It just will have some of the
issues that you typically get running windows applications under wine. I
haven't done it in years though, so I have no idea how up-to-date those
instructions are.
