I think here's a problem.  Your cygwin installation doesn't have a 
proper linker installed. win32 ld.exe is not up to the job, IIRC. You 
need (at least) the gcc and binutils packages.

When asking for free help, you should copy and paste into these emails 
the command that is failing. If you'd really followed the instructions, 
we expect they'd have worked. So in the absence of evidence that you've 
done it right, we'll have to assume you've made a typo. We don't want to 
guess what you've done wrong :-)
