I wonder whether this is really a mingw issue, or whether this is a
remote host testing issue. That is, aren't we setting LC_CTYPE
on the _build_ (where expect runs), not on the host (mingw, through
ssh)? Is LC_CTYPE really being propagated to the host?
Does testing GDB manually directly on a Windows console show the same
issue?
