I want to thank Joe & Ralf for jumping in here with additional
expertise, but here's another data point.

I have a mingw box with no Visual Studio or Cygwin installed on it. All
I did was:

$ mkdir sparc-rtems; cd sparc-rtems
$ CFLAGS="-ggdb -O0" ../gdb-7.2/configure --prefix=$HOME/built
--target=sparc-rtems --disable-sim
$ make all-gdb install-gdb

and this worked with both the 7.2 tarball and CVS HEAD. [There appear to
be build problems with the simulator on MinGW.]

FWIW:

$ echo $PATH
.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDWOS/system32/Wbem:/c/mingw/emacs-23.3/bin
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

I didn't do anything fancy to setup MinGW (which I only use for
occasional build testing of Insight); I just followed the instructions
on the MinGW homepage.
