I've also tried 2.15.94 (which is currently the latest) but it generates
the same problem. How did you acquire just "2.15"? I hope you didn't
compile binutils.... If you did, don't gcc/ld/as get out-of-sync if you
build them separately from each other? As for gcc newer than 3.4.1 - did
you build that too?

AFAIK 2.15.xx are just different builds of the same code. Cygwin libs
are different between these builds of course.....

Also, it would be concerning if building llvm and cfrontend required
building binutils and gcc. Probably putting cygwin-compatible
executables on the site would be a lot easier... The only problem would
be keeping track of cygwin.dll versions...
