Somebody should work on providing it, IMO, if they want to
run the testsuite against it. (this is testing we're talking about,
not building GDB itself). I'm familiar with the history behind MSYS (old
Cygwin fork, etc.), but this not really a core MSYS component one would
assume would require a bunch of effort to compile for MSYS -- I'd imagine
it not to be hard. Maybe a few patches to forward port, if any. Then
we'd just need a wiki page explaining the whole 'testing Windows GDB under
Cygwin or MSYS' -- a good idea regardless, IMO.
(The MSYS-redone-on-top-of-newer-cygwin-as-a-sort-of-plugin/mode effort
will hopefully make these MSYS-stuck-in-the-dark-ages issues all be
history sooner than later).
