That would indicate that you're not running anything close to the latest
version of gdb.  I don't know why this doesn't show up in your cygcheck
environment below unless you either ran the cygcheck command from a different
path or you somehow have the gdb command aliased.

Didn't the "gdb 4.17.gnat.3.12p" give you a clue here?
