X11R7 and rebasing
I have seen that after the release of X11R7, many problems are partially resolved by rebasing. Some time ago, I remember that on cigwin-apps list there was the suggestion that the package maintainer should build their packages adding '-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base' for DLLs. Has this be done for the recent release? If 'yes', just for curiosity, where, than, this need of rebasing comes from?

It just can ease the pain somewhat.

The closest libtool comes to this issue is the fact that it automatically turns on enable-auto-image-base -- which should help somewhat alleviate the problem (although, as Corinna pointed out earlier, it's not a panacea). Sorry, I misread and thought, based on the flow of the message, that the last question was how the enable-auto-image-base was done. Indeed libtool is part of the solution and not the cause.
