How would you define "normal users"? Up until now, *nobody* else has
ever had such a statoverride, and it seems like a ridiculous one. Where
does it come from? It's certainly not a "normal" configuration.
And even in this configuration, why does it cause trouble? Even if ARCH
is unset, Wine should still start normally.

It's the most robust approach so far. What else would you suggest?
IMO, you should fix your system by removing this bogus statoverride and
take steps to ensure it doesn't come back, but if you don't want to, I'm
probably willing to accept a patch to work around broken permissions as
necessary.
