I think we're talking past each other, though - this comes back to Kris's point about consistency. Shipping a mingw GCC and a cygwin GDB is error-prone, especially if we otherwise do not need the cygwin DLL. Actually, there are a number of places where GDB's performance does matter. It's just not as constant and browbeaten an issue as for GCC :-) -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
