Re: 6.5 doesn't support mingw ?

I have been working here on a native mingw, and it actually is not
that much work to get something functional. I had to put that project
on hold for a while, however, due to some scheduling conflicts and
business trips. I hope to resume it soon (hopefully in a week or two),
and submit these changes.  The changes I made are against a gdb-6.4
baseline but it shouldn't be a problem to merge them into mainline.

Let me see if I can dig out the patches I already have, if anyone
is interested.
