I managed to get the thing to work on Ubuntu 16.04 as follows:

#as root
dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install wine
# as normal user:
#instead of running rebuild32.bat
wine gkernel32 include src/extend32 fsave wf32 bye
wine wf32 include src/kernel/gmeta32 .olly bye
wine gkernel32 include src/extend32 fsave wf32 bye

And now I can start wf32 as interactive session with

wineconsole wf32
#needs a terminal reset after it is finished,
# despite having it's own console window.

or use it in batch mode as follows:

wine wf32 2 2 + cr . cr bye

(wineconsole is not good for batch mode, because the output is garbled
by the strange terminal settings, while wine is not good for
interactive mode because it does funny things when wf32 tries to echo
the input.

The overhead of starting wine (or that of wf32) is considerable, not
so great for measuring performance:

[b8:~/wf32:15997] perf stat -e cycles,instructions wine wf32 cr bye
STC Experimental 32bit: 0.06.08 Build: 5

 Performance counter stats for 'wine wf32 cr bye':

        1802840712      cycles
        1768741017      instructions              #    0.98  insns per cycle

       0.871465953 seconds time elapsed

I had the impression that you were working on a more ambitious
analytical compiler.  Was my impression wrong?
