Then I guess it's not possible as wine can't relocate itself...

Ok, I will have a look.

I don't think I link without relocation records, but I couldn't find that setting
anyway. Where in VC6 would I have to change this? I can only see the
base address, so I thought it's always relocatable. As there was never a
problem in Windows I didn't think much about it. I only made sure that the
exe and the needed dlls are all on different addresses so in case of a crash
I know where it happened.
