It is not really such an abnormal configuration. I tried building a standard Cygwin build, host and 
target using the current Cygwin release and latest CVS GDB and get the same problem. Trying to just 
figure out the makefiles generated by configure makes me dizzy! I already spent more than a week 
just getting it to produce an exe by hacking the screen output. 

I would love to supply a patch if somebody can just direct me to the place to start looking. Well I 
know it is somewhere in the bfd directory and that cpu-i386.o should probably be part of libbfd.a, 
but is not because objdump tells me so. Somebody familiar with the GDB build process can probably 
tell me in a few seconds what to look for and I am more than willing to assist to generate a patch 
for the gdb community at large even though my problem is currently resolved.
