  This is the same problem we experienced with file-5.0.whatever-it-was just a
little while ago.  There is an old bug in ld thst emits relocs that shouldn't
be there when compiling a DLL; these relocs then end up getting turned into
invalid addresses by rebase, which has no reason to believe there's anything
incorrect about them and probably nothing it could do even if it did.

  If you build with fresh binutils from CVS head, the created DLL doesn't have
the problematic reloc.  We're rushing out a new binutils release just as soon
as PR977 can be resolved.

    cheers,
