The problem I had with is related to a bash PATH problem; I have an older 
version of gdb in /c/GNAT/BIN while the newest version is in /usr/bin. 
Seems that bash 2.04 has problems sorting the PATH. If type:

	PATH=/usr/bin
	export PATH
	gdb --version

I get:

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-cygwin".

Good. Now, I add /c/GNAT/BIN at the end of the PATH:

	PATH=$PATH:/c/GNAT/BIN
	export PATH
	gdb --version

I get:

GNU gdb 4.17.gnat.3.12p

Seems that executables placed at the end of the PATH can sometimes overide 
the ones placed at the beginning.
