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.
