Here's your problem: your DOS/Windows directory appears on your PATH
before the DJGPP's bin subdirectory, so Bash is picking the stock
FIND.EXE instead of the Gnu Find utility.  Microsoft's FIND.EXE is an
incompatible program, so it complains about what seems to it as wrong
arguments.

A solution is either rearrange your PATH or rename the stock FIND.EXE
to something else (or even remove it, since it's worthless if you have
GNU Grep installed).

After you correct this, I suggest to remove the entire GDB source tree
and unpack it again, then configure and build it anew.

Thanks for reporting this, I will see how to make the installation
process more robust.
