I think the two of you are talking about two different things.  It
sounds like he's trying to build a native debugger, and you're talking
about a MinGW-hosted cross.  As far as I know (and I could be wrong),
building a native MinGW gdb does not work currently and hasn't for some
years, because it requires a ton of local patches that were never
contributed.  The MinGW site indeed offers only a circa-2003 gdb v6.0
and a 2005 vintage v6.3, and that's it.
