As per https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49436#c27 it appears that the recommended way to build wine is with mingw. Non-mingw builds appear to get less testing and may not work at all in some cases according to this comment. In practice this means that several of Blizzard's games are not working with Arch's default build with wine-staging 5.13. Rebuilding with mingw-w64-gcc installed fixes the issue (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49436#c32). Thanks.
