[and many more relocation errors]

This seems to be the same problem reported by Yaakov last year; see the long thread starting at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2013-04/msg00055.html and continuing into May and June. Corinna announced a fix in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-06/msg00057.html; is it possible that the fix didn't make it into the latest binutils?
