This does indeed work, the question is is there one place
I can modify a Makefile.in or Makefile.am or configure.in or so on
and have this apply to all the programs, or do I have to start modifying
lots of Makefile.in's?  That is "the wrong thing to do" I referred to.

THIS seems like the right thing to do.  Then I assume I can
set the correct LDFLAGS (or LDADD etc) somewhere or another in one place
and rebuild cygwin.

Thanks, I'll download the new binutils and get it working.

And another thanks, this helped me get as far as I did.
