prelink --reloc-only versus ld -Ttext-segment

[Tijl Coosemans]

Hi,

I'm looking into supporting winegcc -Wl,--image-base on FreeBSD. On Linux
prelink --reloc-only is used for that but rather than porting prelink it
seems easier to pass -Wl,-Ttext-segment to the compiler instead. Is there
anything obviously wrong with that?

Winedbg shows kernel32 and ntdll are loaded at their respective addresses:

ELF	7b800000-7ba41000	Dwarf           kernel32<elf>
  \-PE	7b820000-7ba41000	\               kernel32
ELF	7bc00000-7bccd000	Dwarf           ntdll<elf>
  \-PE	7bc10000-7bccd000	\               ntdll


The output of readelf -l ntdll.dll.so looks good too:

Elf file type is DYN (Shared object file)
