Hi --- you should post this question to gdb@sources.redhat.com. There
are more people there who could answer your question.
I believe this is a cygwin-related issue; there may be some name other

COM1 is configured via the dos "mode" commnad to
be 8 data bits, no parity, xon/xoff (that is what cpu32bug needs),
9600 baud, and one stop bit.
