I tried to use gnulib more in gdb, but ran into issues with the mingw
port.
In particular one part of gdb uses gethostname. So, I had to include
the gethostname module.
But, if I include that module, then the gnulib unistd.h can wind up
including <winnt.h>, which pulls in a lot of definitions that conflict
with symbols already defined elsewhere in gdb. (And as you can imagine
from a tool that manipulates file formats, things like COFF details
defined in winnt.h conflict with similar definitions in BFD.)
So I get stuff like:
cp-name-parser.c:420:0: error: "VOID" redefined [-Werror]

/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/windef.h:139:0,

/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/winnt.h:192:0: note: this is the
location of the previous definition
I can tell you how to grab the relevant gdb and build it if you want to
mess around. It's straightforward.
