You can try.  The general idea was that this isn't necessary.
-mcmodel=medium is default and despite the text you're quoting, the idea
was that the base address of the result shouldn't matter on PE/COFF.
Unfortunately the linker is making a fuss about that yet and maybe
there's still another problem as well.

So you have two choices:

- Try -mcmodel=large, but there's a good chance it crashes (harfbuzz
   apparently does).

it crashed, but it could be another reason as also the second option
failed with 1.7.18-6

- Link with -Wl,--image-base-address -Wl,0x10000000 and rebase the
   DLLs afterwards to some arbitrary address between 0x4:00000000 and
   0x6:00000000.  This should work as expected.

this worked. (-Wl,--image-base -Wl,0x10000000")
with latest 1.7.18-8 not with 1.7.18-6

Sorry to say that, but this is not overly helpful.  For one thing, you
mean 1.7.19, not 18, right?  How exactly did it work with 1.7.19-8?
Only after using --image-base 0x10000000 or also after the rebase?

1.7.19. no need to rebase for "make check"

What exactly did not work with 1.7.19-6?  Building or running?

running. it was segfaulting almost on start.
Rebase made no difference; same for CFLAGS="-fwrapv"

 Did you
only try with --image-base 0x10000000 or also with rebase?  To what
address did you rebase?  If building worked but running didn't, what has
gone wrong?  Was it a fork problem, perhaps?  Any hints from the
stackdump?  GDB?  Did you check for a collision with another DLL?

Also, what about 1.7.19-7?  The difference between -6, -7, and -8 is
exactly one patch per version.  It might be interesting to learn about
the patch which, apparently, fixed the problem.

I missed the 1.7.19-7 during my tests, do you need I test it ?
