One of the tarballs for the most recent snapshot version includes the patch against the mainline. It's from around May, so I suspect the patch will require some massaging if you want it to work against current CVS. The best thing about the port is that, unlike the cygwin port, hitting ^c to stop the inferior seems to actually work most of the time (assuming you run the gdb in a cmd window and not a cygwin window). This is because it relies on windows native events rather than cygwin signals. Dan
