All NT-based windows (I work on XP most of time).

As long as I understood, there is NO mingw-compiled gdb at all. And most
of the problems with cygwin-based <gcc,gdb,...> under Win9X/Me are problems
of cygwin itself.
The only way to get working toolset under Win9X is to compile and test it
with different versions of cygwin - and I guess nobody wants to do this.
Maybe Win9X users themselves should do this work, if they think upgrading to
WinNT is much more difficult? :-)
