WINE is implemented using Unix libraries underneath. And since it essentially supports and entire modern OS, there is quite a bit of depdencies. The wine package available in Arch Linux for example depends on 72 lib32-* packages. The majority of these are just 32 bit compiled versions of standard libraries that a user on x86_64 will have a native 64 bit version of already.

There's a lot of redundancy and obsolete stuff in the main repo Wine package. I maintain wine-stable and I have just 45 lib32 dependencies.

To compare:

Main repo wine: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/abf380b...

AUR wine-stable: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=wine-...

Please make a bug report about how we can improve the package if you have the time. I'll see that it's taken care of, then.
