According to Rémi Perrot on 2/11/2008 2:21 AM:
| Is it because gdb license change to gpl 3 ?

No.  Cygwin already distributes other GPLv3+ projects.

| Or is it because of some missing human resources to make/test a new
| package of this tools ?

Bingo.  This is a volunteer effort, after all, and volunteers don't have
unlimited time.

| Or maybe there is some work in progress and a new package will come ?

Probably some of this as well.
