Kai is of the opinion that rebuilding the gcc, CRT, Cygwin and
everything in between be rebuilt with the new binutils to solve the issue.

Might be a huge undertaking.

That depends on what you mean by "everything in between". Wouldn't it suffice to rebuild the cygwin package and the toolchain?

The main issue for us, AFAICT, is that package maintainers need to be able to build their packages without having the build take hours when cygport calls 'nm -l'.
