I will be on a business trip for the rest of the week. I can look at excepting them, but I'd rather introduce a more general mechanism for such things, I'll have to think about that. The question is however if these actually work when they're not rebased while some other library occupies their address space. I suspect that'd fail unless they are ASLR enabled. Plus we need to make sure they don't slip into the rebase space and block another Cygwin DLL trying to load later. Can somebody please test that? While on the topic of ASLR, I've been experimenting with generally making all (or most) Cygwin DLL ASLR enabled and avoid rebasing altogether (that was triggered by some 32bit machine that I couldn't switch over to a 3GB user VM for some reason). It seems like that should work, although it's unclear which subset of libraries must load to fixed addresses (rebased or not). Also, I'm not quite certain which address space ASLR will use and if there's a "safe" space that it will never occupy. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to spend on that, so if anybody feels inclined to try it I'll see if I can put something into autorebase to support it.
