AFAIK PE DLLs are always relocatable while it's not true for ELF SOs. So,
whenever you need to create it, always pass -fPIC to ALL used units and
their dependencies.
PE images themselves aren't relocatable. All addresses are relative to
the defined base address. The loader must manually recalculate the
addresses if the binary can't be loaded at the base address.

They _are_ relocatable (it contains structures to relocate), but _not_
position independant (you must relocate if load address changes)
I threw two things into one pot... I'm sorry :)
