Re: enable-auto-image-base with libtool not working?

I think it was Jason. Even if there are two or three DLLs using the
same base address, it should be better than all DLLs using the same
base.
I still haven't seen a true "fix" for the issue proposed. Is moving
forward with --enable-auto-image-base as a "policy" the best we can do?
I think so.
If so, I'll happily patch libtool to conform, but I think it might be
premature to do so now.
What is the default base address used by ld if no base flag is used?
I.e. isn't specifying --image-base=0x1000000 redundant because it is
the dafault base address?
