I just upgraded to DLL 1.3.1 and all the "latest" packages concurrent
with that (except for postgresql, which I'm building from source).
That upgrade seemed to go OK, but now when I build postgres I get
errors like this:
/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe: not found
That file is a symlink to
"/cygnus/netrel/inst/binutils-20010425-1/usr/bin/ld.exe", which is a
bogus path on my machine. I see that the binutils-20010425-1.tar.gz
archive has exactly that symlink, along with similar ones in the same
directory. Is this a bad distribution, or did something go wrong in
my installation? I don't see any error messages in the setup.log file.

Yes. The latest version of binutils is binutils-20010425-2. It was
updated on 2001-04-26. If you don't have this version then something
went wrong somewhere. Possibly you need to use another mirror.

Oops. Nevermind. The mirror is probably correct. I forgot to update
setup to find the new version. The new version of setup is correct
on sources.redhat.com now, so it will eventually be correct on mirrors,
too.
In the meantime you can recreate the links by hand:
cd /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin
ln -sf /usr/bin/ld.exe .
etc.
