Package: gdb-mingw-w64
Version: 7.6-4+7
Severity: normal

Even though gdb-mingw-64 installs x86_64-mingw32-gdb and i386-w64-mingw64-gdb
either of them is not working (at least on x86_64).

In particular, gdb refuses to connect to the corresponding gdbserver as the
architectures i368 and i386:x68_64 look incompitible to it.

It seems to me that biarch debugging seems not to be working properly for
mingw64 in gdb.

I suggest one of two possible solutions:
• activate biarch debugging for mingw64
• use multiarch to coinstall the packages for i386 and x86_64

The first one is probably more clean, and avoids installing unnecssary
packages.

The secound one does not involve interaction with upstream, but installs
additional packages (e.g. python) for i386 on x68_64. Unfortunately, there are
some multiarch issues with these packages.
