  What's with the wrong slashes?  Anyway, that's not new, the old one had it too:

$ tar tfj binutils-20080624-2.tar.bz2 | grep 'i686-pc-cygwin'
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ar.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/nm.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ranlib.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/strip.exe

$ tar tfj binutils-2.19.51-1.tar.bz2 | grep 'i686-pc-cygwin'
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ar.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/nm.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ranlib.exe
usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/strip.exe

$

(you can add 'v' to tar options to check that they're links in both cases;
they are.)

  Don't know where you picked up that, but it wasn't from binutils:

$ tar tfj binutils-2.19.51-1.tar.bz2 | grep 'i686-pc-ming'

$

  This is not a binutils bug report any longer!  Try downgrading bash; there's
a problem with the new libreadline7 build, which hopefully a respin with gcc-4
and this new binutils will fix.

    cheers,
