I'm not sure about this, but I *think* there is no such thing as
"relocatable" code on windows/pei386 per se. All code is relocatable(*),
so the '-r' option is pointless.

(*) because the object files that go into dll's are built exactly the
same as the object files that go into static libs. But dll's get special
'fixup' code to do the "relocation" when the dll is loaded into memory.
This fixup code is added when you do 'ld -shared *.o -o foo.dll' to
create the dll (or dlltool, whatever...)

I think you ought to be able to get a working loadable module for XF86 4
by removing the '-r' altogether, right?
