Thanks!

Fine with me, but the second "native" should be removed, IMO.

In fact, I suggest the following text:

  GDB can now be built as a native debugger for debugging Windows x86
  (mingw32) Portable Executable (PE) programs.

Actually, I'd say that the the "for debugging" could go too:

GDB can now be built as a native debugger for Windows x86 (mingw32)
Portable Executable (PE) programs.

... this can get bikeshedy fast.

On my first suggestion, I was trying to make it clear that we're
talking about a native MinGW build - I failed it so seems.

I think both Eli's (now checked in), and yours suffer a bit from
the fact that there is already a native debugger that can
debug mingw32 programs - the native cygwin gdb.

These are my preferences, sorted by most prefered first:

GDB can now be built as a native debugger on Windows x86 (mingw32)
for debugging Portable Executable (PE) programs.

* New native configurations:
x86 MinGW		i[34567]86-*-mingw32*

GDB can now be built as a native debugger on Windows x86 (mingw32).

GDB can now be built as a native MinGW debugger on Windows x86.

GDB can now be built as a native mingw32 debugger on Windows x86.

GDB can now be built as a native mingw32 debugger on Windows x86.

I'll happily checking a new version if people want to.

If that's what you wanted to say then let's say it:

 GDB can now be built with the MinGW compiler as a native debugger for
 Windows x86 (mingw32) Portable Executable (PE) programs.

Looks perfect to me.
