I can't answer all of your question, but I can tell you for sure that
Linux-hosted gdb will NOT trip over NT path names so long as you are careful
that they do not appear  as backslashes in the debugging information. I had
a problem trying to debug using gdb on Linux, an application which was
Win32-compiled for the Linux target, when the path names were represented as

	Drive:\\directory1\\directory2\\file.cpp

Having made sure that all the final (i.e. preceding the filename) '\\' were
changed to '/', and including the paths to the code in my .gdbinit file,
everything worked fine. You can also change all of the '\\' to '/' in each
path and that works too. My suspicion is that you do not need the paths to
the sources in the .gbdinit file then, but I have not tested this.

Regards,

Kevin.
