I downloaded gdb-7.5.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/.  There were no
binary files in this gnu zipped archive file.  I always look for binaries first
but I did not see any for gdb 7.5.  There were no explicit instructions on
setup so I assumed that the configure and makefile were setup for an install. 
It appeared to work until tried compiling i386-windows-nat.c.  I presume this
is the problem.  I'm using mingw64 with its 64 bit compiler.



Perhaps the error is in the configure and makefile.  I don't think it should be
trying to compile i386-windows-nat.c which may be just for 32 bit machines.  My
computer runs Windows 7 and is an Intel Core Quad 2.66 GHz with 4 GB and a 64
bit OS. 

The configure should recognize my system and create the appropriate makefile,
but it is not.

Oh, you have a tarball with both source, and prebuilt gdb binary?  Please
confirm.

We don't provide such a thing, so you'll have to talk to whoever you get that
from.

But if I had to guess, it sounds like the timestamps in your files got messed
up, so "make" thought it needed to
 rebuild things.  Winzip is notorious for
doing that.  Try unpacking with tar/gz, if possible.
