That's unexpected. The fact that rebase prints the warnings doesn't
mean it returns with a non-0 exit code.
In fact, as far as I can see, the only reason to fail with a non-0 exit
code after printing the "The following DLLs couldn't be rebased"
messages would be if saving the database failed, which also means
you should see a message "failed to create temporary rebase database"
or "failed to write rebase database" in the log. If such a message
is not printed, I don't understand where the non-0 exit code is
coming from.
