I forwarded your message to cygwin list.  That is
appropriate place to ask.  I am not a binutils expert,
rather binutil layman.

DJ, 

Thanks.  Your patch for ld, fixed the ld -r problem.
Thanks a lot.  Do you plan to update the binutils
distribution archive, one other person reported same
problem, whose e-mail I forwarded to list yesterday.

Thanks a lot for your help.

We shouldn't need to change anything; it's all there.  It just doesn't
work.  Looks like a bug.  I'll investigate.

It used to work before, after June 25 changes to
binutils, it does not.

I was referring to one of the scripts in /usr/lib/ldscripts.  I'm only
barely literate with these myself so I don't know if this is even possible.

It sounds like we should just change binutils to work correctly.

I just checked and the change that I thought would fix this is already
in the 7/14 snapshot.  I'm downloading the latest X stuff now to see
what's going on.

Yes. On Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Windows2000 SP1 (SP1
from MSDN Subscription), both give same error.

I will try the new snapshot when it available.

Hmm.  It should be possible to change one of the linker scripts to

Thanks, DJ. I *did* say that my response was only a guess. :-) I'll bow

Yes, 
That was it.  Now I need to adapt Imake.rules files
or I will be manually issuing this command 130 times.

I think the problem is that the linker is using PEI instead of PE.
PEI is *only* for executables, PE is *only* for objects.  When you do
"ld -r" it's trying to produce an object, but if it doesn't
know to switch formats, it will have a problem.

Try "ld -r --oformat pe-i386 ..."

I'm not sure about this, but I *think* there is no such thing as
"relocatable" code on windows/pei386 per se. All code is relocatable(*),
so the '-r' option is pointless.

(*) because the object files that go into dll's are built exactly the
same as the object files that go into static libs. But dll's get special
'fixup' code to do the "relocation" when the dll is loaded into memory.
This fixup code is added when you do 'ld -shared *.o -o foo.dll' to
create the dll (or dlltool, whatever...)

I think you ought to be able to get a working loadable module for XF86 4
by removing the '-r' altogether, right?
