Hmmm. Most probably there are issues on Cygwin, as this is not an ELF
system. For example, the cross-ldd included in uClibc will not build,
as Cygwin is missing /usr/include/elf.h. Maybe this is the reason for
the failure of gdb. For DUMA, I've no clue. If you ever manage to fix
it, please share! :-)

No, the toolchain is self-contained in the ${CT_PREFIX_DIR} directory.
It defaults, in your case, to: ~/x-tools/powerpc-405-linux-gnu
