BTW, Why do we use DIRNAME_SEPARATOR, instead of PATH_SEPARATOR ?
As PATH_SEPARATOR is detected by configure, it is trustable.


Not really: MinGW lacks a port of Bash, so people are using all kinds
of replacements, which may well produce `:' as PATH_SEPARATOR.  In
particular, two popular ports, the ones from Cygwin and MSYS, will do
that, I think.

Cross builds are another such case.

So I think we should simply hard-code that in Windows native ports. 

GCC3.4.x uses PATH_SEPARATOR and it seems that has
no issue. What is the difference between GCC and GDB?
