If gdb is messed up wrt DLLs then I wouldn't be able to use it to debug
cygwin.

I've been checking in fixes for the last few weeks for dll handling.

From the description, it really sounds like there are two different versions
of the DLL on the system and either GDB or tcl has found the wrong one.

I previously suggested using the 'dll' command to load symbols.  'info shared'
will also show the list of loaded dlls.
