Ok.
Short explanation: It won't work. Don't waste your time trying.

Long explanation: Matlab (as well as anything else available for
windows) has been compiled for the x86 architecture. That means the
program has been turned from source code (usually C or something
similar) into machine code. This code differs from architecture to
architecture. The only way to run a given executable on a different
architecture is to use an emulator which completely emulates the
behaviour of the needed system at the bits and bytes level. Since Wine
Is Not an Emulator, it won't do for you.
