While building chromium with visual c++ 2005 on wine, step 'webcore_bindings_sources' tries to run WebCore/bindings/scripts/generate-bindings.pl, and sometimes it fails with
13 [main] perl 29 C:\chromium\src\third_party\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap C:\chromium\src\third_party\cygwin\lib\perl5\5.10\i686-cygwin\auto\List\Util\Util.dll to same address as parent(0x1350000) != 0x52760000^M 14 [main] perl 74 fork: child 29 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11^M
http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/rebase/rebase-2.2.README indicates that cygwin's fork() relies on everything mapping to the same address in the child. (Gulp.)
This is an occasional problem even on Windows; the usual advice is to run cygwin's rebaseall (carefully). Sure enough, running wine c:\cygwin\bin\ash c:\cygwin\bin\rebaseall seems to have solved the problem. Or maybe I just got lucky.
Cygwin's rebase command has its own implementation of ReBaseImage(), so it doesn't matter that Wine's is a stub. (Gee, maybe we should ask Ralf sometime if he's willing to relicense it from gpl. We'd have to translate it from C++ to C, too.) - Dan
