Well, this is really a question for the GNAT people, since it's their
product. I can offer these suggestions if you're not inclined to discuss
this with GNAT folks:
1. Rebuild GNAT gdb changing the dependency to cygwin1.dll.
2. Remove cyggnat.dll. Binary edit the GNAT gdb executable changing the
references from 'cyggnat.dll' to 'cygwin1.dll'. Don't add or subtract
any spaces here! Make sure 'X:/cygwin/bin' is always in your path then.
If either of these options causes your machine to explode or the sky to fall,
you have my sympathy but discussing it on this list would be considered
off-topic. Your best bet really is to have the GNAT folks help you resolve
this problem. Honestly, their approach to using Cygwin is not recommended,
which is a major reason the discussion of this issue is off-topic here.
