Hello Qian,

Is it possible that Wine rename and recompile all gecko dlls, like nspr4.dll =>
wine_nspr4.dll, so we can avoid this kind of namespace conflict?

possible, you would need to do this at least for all dlls provided by Netscape
portable runtime.

I didn't look too far into the runtime but you need to ensure that all
pre-defined unique named objects and patterns are collision free.
Might not be an issue but there are sometimes peculiarities with process
environment, TLS (pre-existing threads, depending which runtime was alive
first) etc. since both sets of runtime dlls share the same address space.

Regards
