Good to know that the auto-imports doesn't depend in some funky way on the .reloc section. Going back to --disable-auto-imports case (just for consistency): It doesn't make a difference whether you strip out the .reloc section first (either via objcopy or --no-relocate), and THEN strip out the debug info, or if you strip out the debug info first and then strip out the .reloc via objcopy second. In either strip-out-order, executables will work without .reloc only if the debug info is also absent. Thus: there is no magic being done to the pei-386 header by 'strip -g', unless that magic can exist with AND without .reloc. I dunno. This is a weird one. I wonder if the debug info created by MSVC/'link -DLL -FIXED' is different from the debug info created by MSVC/'link -DLL'. That is, the debug information must be generated differently for a non-relocatable DLL, and currently ld creates it the same way for both flavors -- thus, our "non-relocatable" dll's only work if we also remove the erroneous debug info. --Chuck
