If GDB is a Cygwin application, it will print Cygwin paths.
There's really no way around that and nothing to be done about it.
A non-Cygwin application can convert the Cygwin paths to Windows paths
(by dynamic loading of Cygwin if it's present). Or use a non-Cygwin
GDB. I often find the latter easier.
