I've just built binutils 2.41 on Cygwin with the patch applied and all seems well. Linking protobuf is within the measurement uncertainty of the previous build. The "objdump the gcc binaries" exercise is ever so slightly slower than with the other 2.41 builds and that time is spent in system, so it seems that there are indeed instances where an extra fflush gets inserted. No further findings so far, I'll install it and do a full build of gcc again tomorrow.
