You might want to check that the ld flag '--enable-auto-image-base' is 
being used here (it's our gcc specsfile, but idk if you are doing 
something unusual here)

(otherwise all DLLs end up with the default ImageBase address and you'll 
end up with collisions for certain, which we are at the mercy of how the 
Windows loader chooses to resolve)
