It works both on WIN95 and NT4.0 if you replace also B18 cygwin.dll with
Sergey's patched one. But unfortunately, imake and some other binutils stop
to work with the new cygwin.dll.

With the new cygwin.dll I was also able to succesfuly build und run the
exemplary reloctable dll at
http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/building-reloc-dlls.txt which does not
run with the original one.

It seems there is a bug in the binary distribution of B18 cygwin.dll.
