Hi Konrad,

Assuming that the two programs were compiled from the same binutils source
code,
it is hard to see how this can be a binutils problem.  

Since the (correctly working) ARM version of the tool was supplied by
Canonical,
however it may be that they have applied a patch that fixes the problem.  If
so,
it would be worthwhile contacting them to find out detail of
thehttps://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ patch.

Otherwise all that I can think of is that the two tools are using different
versions of the cygwin dll, one of which has a fix for the timestamp problem
and one of which does not.

Cheers
  Nick
