Note: libtool-devel does not use auto-image-base. I don't THINK libtool-stable does, either. And all of "my" DLLs have been rebuilt over the last several months without auto-image-base. Just FYI. Also, there was some code passed back and forth a while ago (Rob, yours maybe?) that purported to add a "non-relocatable" option to binutils. I don't remember the specifics, but I think there were some problems with that particular implementation. A working version that added a "non-relocatable" option to ld when creating a DLL would be a nice addition to binutils. Anybody remember more about this? I'm drawing a blank... --Chuck
