ARM64 support

Motivation

After my ARM port ARM64 (AArch64) was a logical step and due to my experience with ARM it only took days instead of month.

Again we are faster than the other win32 implementation :), therefor it's a pure Winelib port.

Status

• Yes, It works! (TM)
• Patchset was committed on January 16. 2013 and is available since Wine-1.5.22

Todo

• Test a WOW64 setup as soon as a Distro allows running ARM code

• backtrace

• relay tracing
• libs/port/interlocked.c: maybe native operations

• wine-gecko/wine-mono ARM64 port

Compiling

There's no ARM64 Hardware at the moment, but have a look at Linaro Engineering: ARMv8 activity/downloads,

there you get a cross-toolchain, a bootable system and instruction on how to get the Foundation Model from ARM. For the start run configure like:

../configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu host_alias=aarch64-linux-gnu --with-wine-tools=../yourotherbuilddir/ --without-freetype --without-x --enable-win64
