I've been messing with wine on RHL 9. So far, I've found that

* crossover office 1.3.x + RHL 9 doesn't work
* LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 + crossover office 1.3.x + RHL 9 doesn't work
* wine from RHL 8.0 + RHL 9 doesn't work
* LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 + wine from RHL 8.0 + RHL 9 doesn't work
* latest wine tarball release + RHL 9 doesn't work
* LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 + latest wine tarball release + RHL 9 doesn't work
* proposed glibc errata (ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/) + latest wine 
tarball release + RHL 9 works for simple apps
* proposed glibc errata (ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/) + latest wine 
from cvs + RHL 9 works for more apps

You're best off sticking with RHL 8.0 or less if you need wine, but it's 
starting to be usable

later,
chris
