  - Python: I use the official binaries provided by python.org
  - termcap/curses: Not needed
  - libexpat: I build it (same as GDB)
  - readline: Not needed (included in GDB sources)
  - libiconv: I place the sources in the GDB tree, and it gets
              automatically built.  But you could also rebuild it
              yourself.

I think that, apart from Python, it's fairly easy to rebuild your
dependencies yourself, so that's what we do. However, I do not know
if the MinGW project provides pre-compiled versions of those packages
or not.
