I haven't fixed the problem I reported with Paul Solovoskys patched ld,
but I have a lead... it seems to be that cygwin1.dll is loaded after a
dll that I was linking to, and that cygwin1.dll is getting relocated :

(gdb) info dll
DLL Name                               Load Address
f:/src/ldt/auto-import-sample/dll.dll  610c1000
e:/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll              02561000
e:/winnt/system32/kernel32.dll         77e81000
e:/winnt/system32/advapi32.dll         77db1000
e:/winnt/system32/rpcrt4.dll           77d41000
(gdb) print __cygwin_user_data
Cannot access memory at address 0x610933a0

As you can see, cygwin1.dll has been loaded at 02561000. It seems to me
that if __cygwin_user_data is a non-relocatble variable, that we should
mark cygwin1.dll as non-relocatable.

Thoughts?
