Yes, I'm running it from a Windows console. I had CYGWIN=tty, but I've now removed it, and Ctrl-C still isn't working.
I tried the MinGW version of GDB. Still no Ctrl-C. I tried Bob's tty 'voodoo'. Still no Ctrl-C. I'm using GDB 6.3.50_2004-12-28-cvs (cygwin-special), I have also compiled GDB 6.4 but it crashes immediately upon trying to debug a program (I'm not interested in solving this problem for now). For anyone who has gotten Ctrl-C to work on Cygwin: what version of GDB are you using?
