Apparently the problem is that Windows is a 32bit OS, so amd64 > 32 bit > 
Windows includes an additional layer of issues that x86 doesn't have. 

Scott Ritchie was working on that upstream. Last September, he ran into some 
problems getting wine to compile on amd64. See 
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-September/051015.html. I 
think he made some progress since then, but I don't know the latest. His 
email address may be found on the winehq.org mailing list (google: wine amd64 
scott-ritchie).
