RFC Bug 49208

I think I solved bug 49208 [1] (failure to create any process on empty
Wine prefix under build-dependant circumstances) but I am a bit unsure
on the proper fix.

The failure is triggered when kernelbase.dll size exceeds 0x410000. If
that happens, it does not fit in 0x7b000000 - 0x0x7b410000 range (where
0x7b410000 is kernel32.dll.so load address), and goes in the lower
address space, so a bit later an .exe without relocations cannot be
mapped to 0x40000.

The issue is fixed by 'strip kernelbase.dll' for me. Fitting
kernelbase.dll into 0x410000 seems correct to me, but I am not sure
about the best way to guarantee that.
