Here I am asking how to do.
You're asking how to get ld version 2.15. Cygwin doesn't come with this version. Ergo, you can't just download a binary from the cygwin release. If you're asking where to get this version of binutils, then look at the binutils web page. Just typing "binutils" into google should give you a clue as to where binutils might be found. Hopefully it is obvious that binutils isn't a cygwin-specific package. If you're asking how to *build* binutils, then there is also plenty of information available on the web for that, also. It still seems odd that another web site would imply that you needed another version of binutils other than the one that is provided by the cygwin release and your inclination was to ask the people who provided the standard cygwin release where you could find a non-standard cygwin release. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
