Blurfh.  I first tried doing a make check with the
patch I attached on my previous message, and with a
hacked fileio.c to see what gdb and the inferior
stdin/out/err streams were.  The result is something like:

(output a bit different from the previous patch to
 make it clearer what is what)

make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=cygwin fileio.exp"

Seeing this, I tried the example standalone/non-dejagnu
test I posted, but with CYGWIN=tty, which produces the
exact same results dejagnu sees.

I then removed 'tty' from CYGWIN, but failed to
restart every cygwin process, which made me fail to
see what you saw.  Which shows:

> gdb ./main.exe
gdb: isatty (0) = 1, ttyname (0) = /dev/console
gdb: isatty (1) = 1, ttyname (1) = /dev/console
gdb: isatty (2) = 1, ttyname (2) = /dev/console

(gdb)

Which is the behaviour I was expecting:
 "I don't know enough of the Cygwin tty support,
 but I would expect that if gdb had a (Windows) console
 attached (bash started from cmd.exe, not the xterm or rxvt),
 the inferior would inherit it, and the runtime would arrange
 for the isatty to be true, but that doesn't seem to hold."

Sorry for the confusion.

So, the excelent description Corinna posted applies
to the dejagnu case here.
