Hello again,

I actually managed to find an already built gdb.exe. It's
This GDB was configured as "x86_64-w64-mingw32".
which not only means that it can indeed load Win-64 images, but also that it IS possible to build gdb with MinGW64. ;-)

I found it at http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=gdb . I have to confess that downloading a plain .exe and running it on my machine was pretty scary - if anybody could confirm that downloads from equation.com are virus-free, it would be greatly appreciated.

Another downside is that it's 7.2, while the latest official gdb release seems to be 7.3.1 - another reason to try and build it myself.
But anyway, it seems to be running ok... and I found my bug! :-)

Greetings and Merry Christmas,

Emanuel
