Oops.  Nevermind.  The mirror is probably correct.  I forgot to update
setup to find the new version.  The new version of setup is correct
on sources.redhat.com now, so it will eventually be correct on mirrors,
too.

In the meantime you can recreate the links by hand:

cd /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin
ln -sf /usr/bin/ld.exe .

etc.
