That's not true: there's the DJGPP (a.k.a. MS-DOS) port of GDB, where
GDB still runs. It just needs less DOS-specific code because it has a
Posix-compliant library (which includes `select' emulation). But you
can still see an occasional "#ifdef __MSDOS__" or "#ifdef __DJGPP__"
or "#ifdef __GO32__" in the sources.
