Just reporting that no, I don't have any problems, at least building my simple DLL test with b18. Works fine. The error message you give reminds me of the kind of thing that happens when the import list is not properly terminated, that problem behaved very weirdly (it would go away if the first DLL imported only had one or two references, and come back if there were more) so I wonder if maybe the change in beta 18 has simply made an earlier harmless bug become apparent in your code. Another suggestion is that maybe you didn't recompile all your libraries and object code. If I remember correctly there was a change in the bfd libraries in this release. That the change would have anything to do with your problem is wild speculation however.
