Where does the leading dot come from? This should have been something
similar to this
./configure --target=powerpc-rtems [...]

Is there a particular reason for trying binutils-2.9.5.0.24?

binutils-2.9 is ancient. The latest official binutils version for
rtems-4.6 is binutils-2.13, the latest FSF version is binutils-2.15.

Furthermore, where ever you downloaded this binutils-2.9.5.0.24 from, it
is not a version supported by rtems.org.

i386-pc-cygwin or i586-pc-cygwin would have been correct.

I'd guess it's a side-effect of you trying to build an ancient version
of binutils.

Try the binary packages from
ftp://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/cygwin/rtems-4.6
