Hi Antonio,

Which version of binutils are you using ? If it is not the latest
release (2.13.2) then try updating your sources.

How did the make fail ? Have you checked the Cygwin FAQ to see if the
problem is mentioned there ?

How did you configure the build ? It should have been something like
this:
<path-to-binutils-sources>/configure --target=i686-pc-cygwin
