If I am readying your question correctly, it's not just that wine
bundles compilers and libraries, it's that wine bundles pre-built
binaries of compilers and libraries.
As I understand it, bundling and use of pre-built binaries are two
different issues.
Bundling is allowed.
My reading of the packaging guidelines says using pre-bulit binaries is
not allowed at all:
"""
When you encounter prebuilt binaries in a package you MUST:
- Remove all pre-built program binaries and program libraries in %prep
prior to the building of the package. Examples include, but are not
limited to, *.class, *.dll, *.DS_Store, *.exe, *.jar, *.o, *.pyc,
*.pyo, *.egg, *.so, *.swf files.
"""
And
"""
Some software (usually related to compilers or cross-compiler
environments) cannot be built without the use of a previous toolchain or
development environment (open source). If you have a package which meets
this criteria, contact the Fedora Packaging Committee for approval.
Please note that this exception, if granted, is limited to only the
initial build of the package. You may bootstrap this build with a
"bootstrap" pre-built binary, but after this is complete, you must
immediately increment Release, drop the "bootstrap" pre-built binary,
and build completely from source. Bootstrapped packages containing
pre-built "bootstrap" binaries must not be pushed as release packages or
updates under any circumstances.
