I recommend skipping the DLLs that get corrupted by rebasing. Back in
February, I determined that the following DLLs should be skipped:
cygcurl-2.dll
libW11.dll
Since there have been many new packages added since then, one needs to
determine if more DLLs need to be skipped too.
Additionally, it was recommended on cygwin-apps to avoid rebasing
cygwin1.dll. Note, however that I have determined empirically that
rebasing cygwin1.dll does not corrupt it.
Unfortunately, the above is just a workaround. We really need to figure
out why some DLLs get corrupted by rebasing. I have evidence that it
may have something to due to with stripping. I arrived at this
hypothesis because the PostgreSQL DLLs get corrupted if I rebase them
when they are stripped but do not when unstripped. On the other hand,
may other DLLs (e.g., all of the Python ones) can be rebased after
stripping.

Yes, please. I'm willing to review your drafts.

OK, the above indicates that rebase.exe is blowing up in the call to
ReBaseImage(). So, either these is a problem with ReBaseImage() (under
Me) or bad arguments are being passed. Can you get the values of the
arguments?
Thanks,
