I think we agreed a while ago that it would be a good idea to make the
cygwin DLL always occupy the same space in memory.  I know that this
would be a good thing for cases where c++ method pointers are stored in
shared memory.

Did we ever find a way of stripping the relocatable bits using GNU
tools?  Or can Jason's rebase utility do this, maybe?
