I tried that but I couldn't see anything strange. Also ldd `which gdb` is fine. I tried the cygcheck Marco Atzeri suggested. I am not comfortable to send the result to the list but I checked it. As a result I cleaned up my path to just /bin which removed some duplicate entries in cygcheck.out but gdb still doesn't work. The only strange part I see in cygcheck.out is a slight mess up with my installation, a result of my moving /c/cygwin64 to /c/mystuff/ncygwin64 after my first run of setup.exe, see below. So what has changed between gdb 7.10.1-1 and gdb 7.12.1-2?
