I meant bugs that only occur by manually removing native dlls. The report summaries are usually clear enough, I was hoping to get an easy way to search for them and separate them from 'normal' bugs.
I suspect your use of the word "native" is different than the one defined by Wine (see, for example, http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main).
Native DLLs, in Wine, are DLLs that come from a real Windows system. This as opposed to "built-in DLLs", that are DLLs compiled for Wine as winelib, carrying the ".dll.so" extension.
No, I mean native. Some applications install native redistibutables, e.g. msvcr80 or d3dx9_36.
To the best of my knowledge, Wine arrives with no native DLLs at all, and thus one cannot remove any. Can you point to a bug report you might tag as "purist", so we can all get on the same page?
Sure. I forget not everyone follows wine-bugs, so this was unclear. See http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24510. Blur runs out of the box, but if you remove the bundled native dll (being a purist) the game fails, because wine is missing a dozen or so functions. There are several similar bugs.
