It sounds like your target is neither mingw nor Linux.  You need to
teach GDB a certain amount about a target system; for instance, unless
the current target architecture says "I use a list of target-reported
libraries", GDB won't ask for one.  You'll need your own tdep file;
they're pretty simple to write, since you can crib off of existing
ones.
