The status of the gaugino condensation as the source of supersymmetry breaking is reexamined. It is argued that one cannot have stable minima with broken supersymmetry in models where the dilaton is coupled only linearly to the gaugino condensate. We show that the problems of the gaugino condensate mechanism can be solved by considering nonstandard gauge kinetic functions, created by nonperturbative effects. As an example we use the principle of S-duality to modify the coupling of the gaugino condensate to effective supergravity (superstring) Lagrangians. We show that such an approach can solve the problem of the runaway dilaton and lead to satisfactory supersymmetry breaking in models with a {\em single} gaugino condensate. We exhibit a general property of theories containing a symmetry acting on the dilaton and also shed some light on the question whether it is generically the auxiliary field of the modulus $T$, which dominates supersymmetry breaking.
