I tried to build today trunk of binutils but it fails, so I tried with the
sources which come with the mingw64 package (2.24.0.3.85cf705-1). I did:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/binutils
make
make install

Then I added the $HOME/binutils/bin to PATH...

export PATH="$HOME/binutils:$PATH"


..and now my applications work as expected also on Cygwin side.. :-)

I would say your patches are right, definitively.. :)


Thanks,
Angelo.
