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. Cheers, Pedro Alves
