I think it was Jason.  Even if there are two or three DLLs using the
same base address, it should be better than all DLLs using the same
base.

I think so.

What is the default base address used by ld if no base flag is used?
I.e. isn't specifying --image-base=0x1000000 redundant because it is
the dafault base address?
