 This is needed for running 32-bit Windows applications (many modern apps
 are still 32-bit), but also for large parts of the Windows subsystem
 itself. If in doubt, you do need it!

 Isn't that the error that you were having when you were trying to use the
 32bit `d3dcompiler_47.dll`?
 When using the 64bit version of `d3dcompiler_47.dll` I don't think we need
 the 32bit version of wine.
