So, rebase should be a utility for optimizing the overall start-up speed, to reduce avoidable relocations, rather then fix start-up errors.
Any idea?
cygwin1.dll cannot be relocated if the fork semantics are to work. So while what you say above is true for apps in general, it's not true for Cygwin apps.
