Hello Kim,

For what it is worth, you created your build directory under the
source directory. Since the binutils source is in /c/binutils-2.23.1
you should have created /c/bld and then:

$ cd /c/bld
$ ../binuils-2.23.1/configure --prefix=/mingw

That is, do not build binutils in the binutils source tree.
I don't know if it will make a difference, but it is what Earnie
wanted you to do.

Regards,
John Brown.
