I'm afraid you will have to be a bit clearer about what to configure
and compile from the latest binutils source tree, I'm no binutils expert.

There are some tools that are not compiled by default, such as windres,
libtool, coffdump,... and maybe the ltconfig script might help hooking
in some code to do what I want?

I'm not working in a cygwin environment but in Linux, trying
to link to a Microsoft .obj with a trivial content
int square(int u) { return u*u; }
hope I will be able to do that :-)

What do you mean by ``my Linux binutils''?
