Unable to build binutils from source

[Ivan Godard]

Doing the usual ./configure;make, but the make fails:

    /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototy
    pes -Werror -g -O2   -o ar.exe  arparse.o arlex.o ar.o not-ranlib.o arsup.o rena
    me.o binemul.o emul_vanilla.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../bfd/libbfd.la ../

Problem occurs with both Cygwin sources and sources from gnu.org. I did a binary 
install of binutils fine, but can't reconstruct from source, suggesting an 
environmental problem, but have compared environment with Linux (where binutils 
builds successfully) and can't see a difference. Nothing in the archive on this 
I cound find. cygcheck.out attached.
