Thank you for the info.  I found that when I use gud in
EMACS_23_1_RC, those commands work on Windows, but pp and pr
commands doesn't work even if what I'm debugging is emacs of
the trunk (thus debug_print of that emacs has fflush
(stderr)).  Strange.

So, I'm now debugging Emacs on Windows with emacs of the
trunk but using gud and gdb-ui of EMACS_23_1_RC.  It seems
that this combination works perfectly.
