The cygwin special version of gdb outputs "I think it
uses Unix-style eol (#10), instead of "#10#13" as Dev,
perhaps, expects?" (please see
http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?
msg_id=1966723 for more info)
This prevents the debugger from parsing the output
correctly and displaying the current debugging position
(the blue highlighted line). This essentially makes the
debugging feature useless to anybody using the partial
install with cygwin.

I solved this problem by getting the gdb.exe that comes with
the full install and using that.
A good solution might be to inform downloaders of partial
version about this and provide the gdb.exe that comes with
the full version.
