I don't think this statement is accurate. The problem is
"multiplatform" is ambiguous. If a "platform" is an operating system,
multiplatform code is certainly allowed in Wine, though portable code
is preferred to OS-specific code whenever possible. If a "platform"
is a CPU, then with the exception of x86, assembly is not allowed, as
there are so few non-x86 Windows binaries that this is essentially
worthless. Similarly, the goal of Wine is _not_ to emulate the x86
CPU, so such emulation code is likewise not allowed in Wine.
