I wonder if > you'd be better off suppressing this warning somehow. 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.
