Honestly I'm not sure. TTBOMK wine directly won't run on anything
else than i386, amd64, arm64.
But there's some info on the box64 blog about running translated
games on looong64, possibly with wine or proton -inside- box64. That
would again need CONFIG_NTSYNC.
So maybe it makes sense to enable this on everything that can
reasonably to be expected to run games.
