[Build failure] Cygwin GDB multibuild failure

[Pierre Muller]

When I try to build GDB
with --enable-targets=all --enable-64bit-bfd
I get the following error:


/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.

There is no d_type field for dirent structure on the currently distributed 
cygwin. It seems that this field has been added recently
in winsup directory, but is it possible to fix that build failure
nonetheless?
