When running some programs under Wine 0.9.12, I get the following error message: "This program tried to use a DOMDocument object, libxml2 support was not present at compile time." The error message seems to be generated by some source code from Wine itself, i.e. wine/dlls/msxml3/domdoc.c However, the part of the program with the error message will only be compiled when libxml2 is not present at compile time, i.e. when the variable HAVE_LIBXML2 in Wine is false. In my system, libxml2 was installed with version 1.8.17-r2 at compile time, but that variable was not set correctly.

i'm gonna guess you didnt provide a 32bit libxml2 for wine to link against
Thank you for your reply. I did not have the 32 bits version of libxml2 installed, which is really the problem as discussed also in Wine bugtracker issue http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5088 However, I think that Gentoo may want to provide some easier means to install the missing library on a AMD64 system through portage. Currently there is no emul-linux-x86* package containing that library, and there is no libxml2-bin package either for providing a 32 bits binary package. As a regular user, I would only have the possibility to change the 64 bit libxml2 ebuild to compile for 32 bits, or to set up a chroot environment for 32 bits to emerge that library. Although it is not mandatory for Wine to have that library for the compilation, would it make sense to have that library emerged together with Wine? Thank you.
out of scope and already in development (search for amd64/ABI discussions) this bug report doesnt really add anything useful and no, we're not going to add some hacks just for wine in the meantime
