That's a Cygwin issue. On POSIX systems (that Cygwin is supposed to emulate), 
there is no problem with calling a file "INSTALL" and a directory "install" 
(filesystem is fully case-sensitive).

Obviously you did use --memory-region and you just spotted one of the numerous 
bugs that GDB has (and that GNU fails to fix despite several reports).
What version do you use? If you use the one shipped by Theobroma and these 
commands:
http://www.milkymist.org/wiki/index.php?title=Task:Porting_Linux_to_the_SoC#Simulating
simulation typically goes a bit further.

However, we never managed to get this broken simulator to work. There are LOTS 
of bugs to fix in its code; moreover, there are no proper simulation models for 
Milkymist peripherals such as UART and timer - those need to be developed.

So do not expect the GDB simulation to work without significant development 
efforts.
