[ECOS] GDB Serial and Cygwin Version

[Tony Butt]

I have encountered a problem using gdb down a serial port with any PC
running any version 1.5.x of Cygwin.

The problem occurs as shown here:
<snip>
	(gdb) target remote com1
	com1: Not a typewriter.
	(gdb)
<snip>

If I use a prior version of Cygwin (1.3.x), everything is fine.

This occurs both under the gdb in the eCosCentric released toolkit, and my
own Version 6.1 gdb, built under cygwin 1.5.8

Does anyone know if there is a workaround or fix to solve this, other than
reverting to Vygwin v 1.3.something?
