Nixpkgs version
Describe the bug
After de21549 (#457894), no variant of Wine seems to work anymore. I tried to find an existing issue report, but I didn't see anything, sorry if I missed it. The exact failure mode seems to vary a bit, but it seems like Wine will generally not be able to load some UNIX libraries anymore, spilling out errors like this:
Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.
...
Steps to reproduce
nix run github:NixOS/nixpkgs/de21549a840b#wine winecfg
Expected behaviour
Winecfg should load.

Additional context
Problem persists with a fresh Wine prefix. Haven't really gotten any leads as to what might be going on, but I guess it's most likely the actual build is broken and not the runtime components. Still, here's a closure diff:
