    * fix for DLL relocation problems
    * external bss vars had wrong stabs for pecoff
    + -WB11000000 to specify default image base, allows to
      load several DLLs with debugging info included
      (relocatable DLL are stripped because the relocation
       of the .Stab section is misplaced by ldw)

    * bind_win32_dll removed (Relocsection used instead)
    * now relocsection is true by default ! (needs dlltool
      for DLL generation)

  Revision 1.64  1999/07/30 23:19:45  peter

  Revision 1.46  1999/02/05 08:54:26  pierre
    + linkofiles splitted inot linkofiles and linkunitfiles
      because linkofiles must be stored with directory
      to enabled linking of different objects with same name
      in a different directory

  Revision 1.45  1999/01/29 10:33:07  peter

    * the code for ordering the exported procs/vars was buggy
    + added -WB to force binding (Ozerski way of creating DLL)
      this is off by default as direct writing of .edata section seems

    * new style for m68k/i386 infos and enums

  Revision 1.29  1998/10/13 08:19:34  pierre
    + source_os is now set correctly for cross-processor compilers
      (tos contains all target_infos and
       we use CPU86 and CPU68 conditionnals to
       get the source operating system
       this only works if you do not undefine
       the source target  !!)

    * small os2 fixes
    * fixed interdependent units with newppu (remake3 under linux works now)

  Revision 1.13  1998/06/08 22:59:46  peter
    * smartlinking works for win32
    * some defines to exclude some compiler parts

  Revision 1.12  1998/06/04 23:51:44  peter
    * m68k compiles
    + .def file creation moved to gendef.pas so it could also be used
      for win32

    * some scanner optimizes
    * automaticly aout2exe for go32v1
    * fixed dynamiclinker option which was added at the wrong place
