Still looking for the "issue previously discussed".
Robert's meesage that I just posted was originally sent to the list in
June 2001. The following thread is three months later, from September
2001. However, it seems to pretty thoroughly rehash the "issue" in
question, but it is not clear to me that the various rationales
presented still apply, because cgf has rewritten the whole fork-handling
and heap code at least twice since then.
Top of thread: "[BUG] cygwin-1.3.3-2 -- making auto-import dlls"

Robert's response "Auto image base is bad (for cygwin)."
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg01076.html
cgf in thread "If it means that auto-import-base doesn't work then
that's really a shame. I don't know what to say beyond that except live
with it. I'm not going to fix binutils."

I'll try to find the *original* discussion of this issue, which should
have occured BEFORE June 2001...
