Well, I asked this before but didn't get an answer - why can't we work with Jakub to have some new ELF flag/section to reserve a particular area of memory for the win32 binary?
Of course we can, I was trying to find a way that would work today, without requiring upgrading to CVS binutils.
Also, frankly, I've spent the last year chasing glibc breakages, and I don't particularly feel like spending the next year chasing kernel breakages. I was kind of hoping someone else would pick that fight, so I could go back to writing some real Wine code for a change...
Hmm, also, what happens if the binary is >256mb? For instance, some very large installers can go beyond that size. How does that work on Windows?
Just make the array larger. I chose 256Mb because I haven't seen a binary larger than that, but if you have seen one feel free to fix the size.
