Well, one workaround is to use the --enable-auto-image-base flag when
linking your ephemeral DLL.  This generates a custom image base address
based on a hash of the pathname of the DLL.  There's no guarantee this
doesn't clash with stuff, but at least it'll be *different* for dlls
that have different names.

Dunno of any solutions or recommendations related to the rest of your
email, tho -- sorry.
