Better than nothing, I guess, though this does not stand as a reason
explaining why this choice has been made. And it looks like we will
never know. We are going to need more advanced testing to check that
DYNAMICBASE is stable enough if we begin to enable it. Perhaps we
should really look at that for all the build targets we currently
support rather than just ARM, for the most modern Win32 environments
if we are going to cut support for most of the oldest releases..
