Excellent! I like to hear that... Because that means it's a gdb problem.
:-)

Forward this information to the gdb list (s/insight/gdb/), and they
should be able to help you.
 
One thing to try first, though.... The proper serial device is
"/dev/ttyS0" or "/dev/ttyS1" (NOT "/dev/ttys0"). I don't know if cygwin
actually cares about case-sensitivity like this, but it couldn't hurt to
try.
