Build instructions:
  unpack binutils-2.23.1-X-src.tar.bz2
    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
    unpacked under /src automatically
  cd /src
  mgwport binutils-2.23.1-X.mgwport all

This will create:
  /src/binutils-2.23.1-X-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma
  /src/binutils-2.23.1-X-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma
  /src/binutils-2.23.1-X-mingw32-lang.tar.lzma
  /src/binutils-2.23.1-X-mingw32-lic.tar.lzma
  /src/binutils-2.23.1-X-mingw32-src.tar.lzma
