My suggestion as promted by:
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/563156>
If installing lib32 at a non-standard location is as
difficult and unlikely as you say, then I agree it need not
be handled, and the script can safely probe the hard-coded
path.

Yes, it would have saved my and other users' time.

I for one needed a pure 32-bit prefix.  WINE's own
documentation explains prefixes very well, including advice
to avoid mixed ones.  The FreeBSD package, however, lacks an
OS- or package- specific message with information overriding
or supplementing the official WINE docs.
