I will like to use the objdump command on cygwin. I get the exception:

-bash: objdump: command not found

why cygwin is not able to find objdump?

EDIT ---- I am able to see binutils at http://cygwin.com/packages/ . once I find the binutils package I click on it and it takes me to here. How do I install it? what am I supposed to do once I got there?

Did you install binutils? Are the programs from binutils in your PATH? - sarnold
Q: Why cygwin is not able to find objdump? A: because you didn't install it! Get "binutils" from wherever you got Cygwin :) - paulsm4
Thanks for the help! How do I know if I installed binutils? I am able to run cygwin and execute linux commans like cd, ls, etc... - Tono Nam

Download the Cygwin setup.exe and use it to install the binutils package.
