False alarm or the boy who cried wolf...
I just built pq.dll and cygcurl-2.dll using their standard makefiles
and they were rebase-able. This explains why my gcc -shared experiment
"worked" last week.
However, the pq.dll (and other PostgreSQL 7.1.3 DLLs) that I built over
the summer with an older (i.e., previous?) version of gcc/binutils is
not rebase-able.
So, with the latest tools there does *not* seem to be a problem.
Kevin, what version of gcc/binutils are you using? Are they the latest?
Thanks,
Jason
