A good example to follow is ildbsymbols.dll, in clr\src\tools\ildbsymbols. 1. ildbsymbols has an ildbsymbols.def file that was manually authored and is included in the tarball. The "sources" file in clr\src\tools\ildbsymbols references it via "DLLDEF=ildbsymbols.def".
2. The purpose of coffbase.txt is to specify the preferred load address of each DLL built, to ensure that no two DLLs overlap in memory and force a relocation. This is a load-time performance optimization, so the consequences of getting it wrong are close to zero. For your DLL, you could place your DLL immediately after SOS by choosing a base of 0x602B0000 (SOS's base is 0x60260000 and its length is 0x0004B000... 0x60260000+0x0004B000=0x602AB000, rounded up to the next highest 64k). If the value is too small, you'll get a linker warning and should adjust your DLLs size in coffbase.txt. If the value is too large, you just fragment the address space of the process a little bit. To start with, pick a length of 0x00010000.
