Hi Wine 5.9 is out, and all 3 of the bugs in 5.7 - 5.8 that were affecting FreeBSD should be fixed upstream now.
However I accidentally introduced another bug recently, where we don't check the return value from an mmap() call, resulting in assertion failures and possibly memory corruption... I debugged it and a patch to fix it is available (https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/185684). Please build ports with that patch applied to 5.9. Sorry. Otherwise 5.9 should be a really good release: it loads DLLs at correct addresses on FreeBSD, something Linux did better than us before, but we caught up now ;). Some of the more difficult applications like Cygwin and some copy-protected games should start working. Also Konstantin and other developers have fixed that rtld-elf issue in the base system by changing link_map.l_addr to work the way it does on Linux/NetBSD/Illumos ( https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246561), which means Wine will crash on start again in the next FreeBSD release (which is? 13?) as the workaround we added to Wine for FreeBSD will be wrong, and we have to limit that code in Wine (commit 0fd3f0266e05f6afa710fa2b5a254b0ed88bac0f) to FreeBSD versions less than the next release.
