Once you have reinstalled the package successfully, the error status and 
messages will be gone. You can look in the cumulative summary in 
/var/log/setup.log to see if there are any relevant error messages still visible 
from earlier installs.

Right after an error, you can run `cygcheck -chv binutils info` to get details 
on what is incomplete from those packages, or look in /var/log/setup.log.full 
after a setup run has finished to see the error messages.
