The staged patchset adds thunk wrappers for ntdll functions, but to be compatible \
with Windows, they have to contain absolute addresses. This requires text \
relocations, which are not allowed by default on OSX. Since this issue was discovered \
shortly before the last release, disabling the patchset on OSX was easier than the \
necessary configure.ac changes, but I'm working on a solution. Unless we hit some \
impossible to solve problems Wine Staging 1.7.54 will make the Steam fix also \
available on OSX. ;)

Best regards,
Sebastian
