I've installed a new version of binutils in sourceware:/cygwin/latest/binutils.

Changes:

- This is an updated version of binutils built from the latest available
  (as of 25-June) binutils sources from CVS.  This version has fixes from
  DJ Delorie which should correct the problems that have plagued Windows
  targeted binutils in sourceware for the last eight months or so (which
  is why the previous package was dated 19990818).

To update your installation, CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY, cd to it, and
download the latest version of setup.exe from the cygwin/latest
directory at a Cygwin mirror site near you.  This site seems to be a
good mirror (it has the new version of binutils already):

    ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/latest/

Once you've downloaded setup, type:

    setup binutils

Answer the questions as you did when you first installed Cygwin,
specifying a mirror site that has the updated package (e.g., the
above site).

This procedure will only update the binutils package.  If you have not
previously used the new setup.exe program to install a version of
Cygwin, you probably will need to install the entire Cygwin package for
correct operation.

Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory.
It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the
binutils tar file.  None of these are needed for further operation of binutils
but you can keep them around if you are interested in reinstalling
everything later.  The setup.log file contains diagnostics that will
be helpful if your installation failed for some reason.

Note that, if you do not use the mirror site above, the binutils files may
take a while to propagate to other mirror sites.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
