(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). -- Pedro Alves
