Hi Jerry,

ld (and also as) is part of the "binutils" package ("Devel" category
in Cygwin's setup program), as can be seen here:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=binutils%2Fbinutils-2.20.51-2&grep=ld.exe

You can use this page: http://www.cygwin.com/packages/  to search for
the Cygwin package containing a particular file.

I see that you have many "mingw" packages installed, including
mingw-binutils (which has its own ld.exe), but that is for building
non-Cygwin programs. For Cygwin programs (including compiled packages
for Cygwin's Python), you need the "plain" binutils.
