Errr, not exactly.  A winelib program or dll can use either windows C
runtime (if it imports msvcrt/mfc42 or crtdll) or *NIX C runtime
functions if it doesn't.  Winelib .exe.so programs can import from
.dll.so files (or windows native dll's, depending on ~/.wine/config
for each dll/application); a .dll.so can import from other .dll.so
files.

A linux shared library in file format, but not in content.
