  bash# uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 gavenko 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin

  bash# echo $LANG
ru_RU.CP1251

  bash# which objdump
/usr/bin/objdump

  bash# objdump --version
GNU objdump (GNU Binutils) 2.19.51.20090704

  bash# objdump.exe -p npmy.dll

npmy.dll:     ÐâÐÑÐÐÐÑÐÂÐâ ÐâÐÂÐâÐÂРpei-i386

ÐÒÐÂÐÐÐÂÐÑÐâÐÂÐÐÐÑÐÐÐâÐÑÐÑÐÑ 0x2102
        executable
        32 bit words
        DLL
.... .... ....

I look more carefully on 'objdump' output. It translated partially!
(--version output not translated in general)

My code parse 'objdump -p' output and expect grep some keywords, which 
translated.
To workaround I use:

  $ LC_ALL=C objdump -p my.dll | sed '...'

So there are two issue with binutils:
  * partially translated
  * ignore LANG=ruRU.cp1251 and uses UTF-8
