There is no difference. The only thing is that some versions of gdb don't
support the command line option that SN needs to run (--external-editor),
whereas the GnuPro version does.

Hi all,
What is meant by GNUPro (native) in the toolchain options of the build
setting window?? Does this mean that you cannot use the GNU tools
supplied in the Cygwin distribution with SN but instead need to
purchase the GNUPro toolkit native for windows?
I can understand this from a marketing exercise but logically how can
this be? If SN goes looking for gcc via the PATH variable in windows
the same way it does under Linux, why would it not be satisfied with
C:\cygwin\bin\gcc?
Confused as ever?
J.
