Thanks Keith,
No and Yes,
No, I'm not trying to build a GDB that run on linux, what I am trying to do
is to build a GDB that runs on NT4.0/Cygwin.
And, Yes, I'm trying to build a GDB for powerpc target that run on Cygwin.
so in conclusion, I need to be able to debug a PowerPC target from NT/Cygwin.
Jerry

Try a newer GDB version. I believe this is caused by a change in
headers in Cygwin very recently; you may need a current CVS snapshot in
order to fix it.

Huh? I build Solaris-x-Linux and Cygwin-x-Linux debuggers fairly
frequently. Cross debuggers take some care not to use target-specific
headers in the target-dependent files for exactly this reason.

You can, of course, and it usualy works, provided that you have
installed the target OS headers and libs in the appropriate places.
