Where did you get the GDB sources? It sounds like you are trying to
compile sources that were not ported to MinGW.
If this doesn't give you any idea what to do, I suggest to ask the
question on some MinGW-related forum (sorry, no URL), because the
solution, if it exists, is probably MinGW-specific.

The DJGPP port will build, allright (provided that you follow the
instructions in gdb/config/djgpp/README), but the resulting gdb.exe
will be unable to debug anything but DJGPP programs. So this is not
what you want.
