1) Use setup.exe to download the gdb source.
2) mkdir /tmp/build
3) cd /tmp/build
4) /usr/src/gdb-20030919-1/configure --prefix=/usr/local/test
5) make

ls /usr/src/gdb-20030919-1/tk
ls: /usr/src/gdb-20030919-1/tk: No such file or directory

I've just had a second go at downloading with setup.exe, and the tk
directory is still missing.

This makes me think that the bug is really in setup.exe or in the Cygwin
repository. I haven't really worked out how Cygwin packages work yet -
should each source package contain a build script, like Redhat or Debian
packages do?
