building it.
I was compiling binutils, just updated from this morning, dawrf.c.
I was using gcc trunk in Cygwin under Vista Home Premium.
I think its probably my fault. I am rebuilding binutils with the compiler 
that came with cygwin.
If it shows again, I will snapshot the error from the scree, and send that 
in.
