At Joel's request, I've built today's snapshot of the GDB master
branch using mingw.org's MinGW, and found a problem when running the
produced gdb.exe on versions of Windows older than 8.0 (in my case it
was XP). The details are described in my report to the Gnulib folks:

The provisional patch I used to solve this problem is this:
