I have a local request here for a GDB that can debug a win32 native process.
More specifically, ELF objects dynamically loaded into a straight MSVC app.
(It is better for me NDA-wise if I don't give any details beyond that.)
Am I correct in assuming that the cygwin GDB requires its debuggee to also
be cygwin? If so, then does anyone know the status of win32 native process
target stuff? Unless it's recent, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anything
claiming to be such in the sources yet, so I'm afraid our guy may be out
of luck.

This is not a requirement. You should be able to debug any windows
process with a gdb linked with cygwin. The only caveat is that gdb has
to understand the debugging format of the executable. It can't,
currently, debug executables linked with MSVC.

It certainly isn't !!!
I debug win32 executable made by Free Pascal Compiler with
the win32 GDB without problems
(Free Pascal generates stabs debugging format
but doesn't use any C library !)
