title: How to build GDB on Windows
body: <p>How does one build GDB (the GNU Debugger) from source on Windows?  I need to build it in order to make a build with Python support.  I cannot use the one distributed with Cygwin because it has problems interpreting backslashes on Windows.  What toolchains do I need for the build -- GnuWin32, MinGW, etc.?  Can someone please provide step-by-step instructions on how to do this?</p>
