Since your post, I have been running emacs under gdb-7.8-2 as you said,
and regularly pulling from git master (and rebuilding, of course).
Today I pulled 270b6e3 and rebuilt, and it hangs under gdb before even
drawing the frame. It runs fine outside gdb, so I did a clean build and
tried again, but the same happened.
$ gdb -x .gdbinit ./emacs.exe

And then it just sits there. I tried using Kyle McKay's debugbreak.c
<https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-06/msg00321.html> to send the emacs
process a DebugBreak, and gdb did not respond (or not visibly, anyway).
I was running a build of d29b3c1 under the same version of GDB, so that
suggests that a change in Emacs may be exposing a different bug in GDB
7.8.
Where shall I go from here? Downgrading GDB is not an option as we
need a backtrace from Emacs run under GDB 7.8.

Aidan Gauland
