It's conceivable. I have only successfully built (under cygwin, at any
rate) the exact "right" combination of components - binutils 2.10, gcc
2.95.2, gdb 5.0. Note also that gdb 5.0 is broken for Angel/Demon remote
debugging support, though this won't affect you if you're using gdb stubs.
Switching to Linux is strongly advisable, all this stuff "just works" under
Linux. Unfortunately, it isn't an easy option for me, so I am stuck with
2.95.2 under Win2000 for the time being.
