... and so the best thing to do is run setup.exe again, and it should
automatically select binutils (use the install-from-internet option) and
install it for you, but it wouldn't hurt to double-check in the package
chooser's 'partial' view that binutils is listed to be installed.

  If it still doesn't work then, run "cygcheck -svr >cygcheck.out" in a bash
shell, and send the resulting cygcheck.out file as an attachment with your
next post.
