Hello Cygwin Mailing List,

I am trying to obtain the ld tool for Cygwin. I found out that it is
included in the Binutils package. However, when I look for that
package in the list during setup, I see 4 versions:

binutils
cygwin32-binutils
djgpp-binutils
mingw64-i686-binutils
mingw64-x86_64-binutils

What is the difference between these versions, and which one should I
choose? I am using a Windows 10 64-bit computer. If you have any
questions, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your time and help,
Mortimer
