 But those refer to psapi DLL which is 
from the Software Development Kit of M$ !!!

  Does this mean that I will have to install the whole huge SDK
to be able to use GDB for cygwin ???
  OK, I took a look into the sources and
  it seems that its only used if available.

  Nevertheless I am unable to compile GDB snapshot with the latest 
network release of cygwin (b20.1) and this is quite annoying!
When is the next release of cygwin planned?
