Actually I loaded them after the error. After I removed the build
directory and started over the code is building fine now. I will send
the backtrace for my particular ld problem when I am through. BTW I have
successfully built other codes with the same ld. I'm just getting a ld
crash with one particular code. I guess that's obvious considering I'm
building binutils with the same ld command.

Thanks to all of the cygwin developers for their efforts,
Pete
