Emacs version info: GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2016-09-17

Inside emacs I ran M-x gud-gdb and got
... GNU gdb (GDB) (Cygwin 7.11.1-2) 7.11.1 ...
(gdb) b 1

Foo written in C++ also fails with the same message.
Running gdb foo in bash gives the expected result:
gdb stops at first executable line prompting for next gdb command.

I can confirm that this happens also with gdb-7.11.1-1 but not gdb-7.10.1-1.  (I tested on x86_64, since gdb-7.10.1-1 is broken on x86.)

It also fails with M-x gdb instead of M-x gud-gdb, but with a different error message:

   Failed to resume program execution (ContinueDebugEvent failed, error 87)

These problem seem not longer occur due to upstream changes in gdb 7.12.

I've uploaded a gdb 7.12.1-1 test package.
