That's odd because the accented character is there in the .mo (in CP1252 though)

$ hexdump -C /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo | grep -A2 1d330
0001d330  46 0a 00 4d 75 65 73 74  72 61 20 6c 61 20 69 6e  |F..Muestra la in|

$ LANG=fr_FR objdump --help | head -2
Usage: objdump <options> <fichiers>
Afficher les informations depuis les <fichiers> objet.

When I looked at the firts line, I thought "French isn't working either" :)
(That should be Utilisation: ...)

$ cygcheck -l binutils | grep binutils.mo

/usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo
/usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo

/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo is conspicuously absent.

The Russian messages in /usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo
appear to be encoded in UTF-8; I don't know what iconv is supposed to
do when LANG=ru_RU.cp1251 but outputting UTF-8 to a terminal expecting
CP1251 doesn't sound like the right thing to do.
