I said a couple of weeks ago that I had a really nasty patch for this
problem, but never got around to cleaning it up.  You've built a Cygwin
GDB, therefore when it needs to construct a path, it uses forward
slashes.  Yet your debugging info matches what you gave the compiler,
i.e. has backwards slashes.  The debugger needs to be taught smarter
filename comparison.
