Strange, I can't reproduce this, I used the exact same configure command and
paths and it all worked fine. Is it possible something went wrong when you
unpacked the source tarball? One common problem is using winzip or a similar
windows gui unpacking program that doesn't handle things like cygwin symlinks
correctly; make sure to use the cygwin tar command (e.g. "tar xvjf
binutils-2.15.tar.bz2").
BTW binutils is up to version 2.17 now, unless you specially need the old
version you might want to use the most recent.
cheers,
