Summary: gdb crashes in windows xp 64

Initial Comment:
gdb.exe crashes immediately upon launch on my amd 64,
windows xp machine. There are others who have reported
the same issue.  I found out while using bloodshed's
dev C++ IDE.  Debugging is not possible in windows xp
64. Now all of the other mingw compiler tools are being
run in 32 bit emulation mode without much trouble. 
Moreover the old MS Visual C++ debugger will run in xp
64, and that also is a 32 bit program.

The crash occurs no matter what project or file I load,
as soon as I try to run the debugger.  I also have an
amd x2 3800 which is a dual core processor.  I'm not
sure if that is a related issue.  The version's of gdb
I've tried are 6.3-1 and an earlier one 5.2? I think.

In my opinion this is not a 64 bit feature request.

Actually the fact thats MS 32 bits debugger is able to work
show that we don't need x64 API to debug x32 programs.

Currently this issues prevent ANY gdb user on a x64 machine
to debug, this includes most C++ popular IDEs but also other
languages (eg pascal), which work on x32 code for the moment.

I've noted this as a 64bit feature request.

Unless you're willing to debug the debugger or purchase for
someone who has time a 64bit environment similar to yours
resolving this issue will not happen.

If you're willing to give away a 64bit PC I'll find someone
with the time.
