I have no idea. The binary I pointed to is guaranteed to work (I use
it all the time).

I have no control on what MinGW maintainers do, or where they put
their ports. Google will surely find the MinGW site. The ezwinports
is not supposed to be a guide to every port out there.

Once again, I can vouch for my build of GDB. I don't know about the
one from MinGW, as I don't use it. You can try if you want to.

Sorry about that. But it certainly also takes _my_ time to look at
your backtraces each time, trying to figure out what can we learn from
them. We are both volunteers, aren't we?

Because some features don't work without Python, and I want the full
functionality at my fingertips.
