Sorry to say that, but this is not overly helpful. For one thing, you mean 1.7.19, not 18, right? How exactly did it work with 1.7.19-8? Only after using --image-base 0x10000000 or also after the rebase? What exactly did not work with 1.7.19-6? Building or running? Did you only try with --image-base 0x10000000 or also with rebase? To what address did you rebase? If building worked but running didn't, what has gone wrong? Was it a fork problem, perhaps? Any hints from the stackdump? GDB? Did you check for a collision with another DLL? Also, what about 1.7.19-7? The difference between -6, -7, and -8 is exactly one patch per version. It might be interesting to learn about the patch which, apparently, fixed the problem.
