By run it manually, it seem to me that many tests of wine are known to failed.

The goal is to have 32bit version wine for x86_64-linux.
IMO, it's what most people want: to run 32bit windows applications.

Yeah, for pure 64bit system `x86_64-linux', we can add wine64, which can run
64bit windows applications.

I have not try `mips64el-linux', but it sound mostly not working to me.

By set #:system to `i686-linux', I assume it's same as:
  `(supported-systems '("i686-linux" "x86_64-linux"))'
