Given the will, anything may be possible, but who is going to develop, and
maintain it?
Since retiring from my day job, nearly nine years ago, I have had no real need
to use Windows for anything, beyond a desire to not see the MinGW.OSDN project,
and its associated user community, die. However, that community cannot
continue to depend on my solitary effort, indefinitely.
I see your point. Would you be willing to publish the procedure you were using
for building GCC, including the configuration options, the rationale for using
non-default options, and any notes and tricks that could be helpful for
building future versions of GCC for MinGW? Maybe someone else could step up,
if the bar was somewhat lower than starting from scratch.
I firmly believe that the maintainer needs to develop a solid understanding of
the build process, and that isn't going to be achieved by simply repeating,
parrot fashion, what I have done.
I use mingw-pkg to manage my builds, and yes, I would be willing to publish the
package specification files, and patch sets, which I have used — in any case,
they are already included in the MinGW.OSDN source tarballs for each of the
packages which I have published. I am also prepared to answer any questions,
from a prospective new maintainer, to help him/her to get up to speed.
I have also begun to create web pages — each a work-in-progress, rather
incomplete, and as yet unpublished — to document mingw-pkg usage, and to
describe how I set about using it to build a GNU/Linux hosted GCC
cross-compiler. I could make them available, even in their incomplete state,
as preview editions, if deemed desirable. (FWIW, my mingw-pkg build
specifications, for both GCC and binutils, support building of both the
cross-compiler, and native-compiler — crossed-native, for my builds —
components, simply by adjustment of the mingw-pkg command line options).

I think it's possible to upgrade to GCC 9.4, it's still somewhat recent
There may be merit in this idea; thanks for the suggestion.
GCC-9.4.0 was published around a year ago, (and I suspect it may be the last of
the GCC-9 series). Nonetheless, the release notes for both GCC-9.3.0, and
GCC-9.4.0, suggest that they correct a significant number of regressions,
within the earlier GCC-9 releases. Many of these regressions manifested as
internal compiler errors, of which one, #40563, has already been reported
against MinGW-GCC-9.2.0; if a point release upgrade is sufficient to correct
even this one issue, it may be worth the effort.
I'll take a look, as time permits, but since my host compiler has now been
upgraded to GCC-11.2.0 — courtesy of the Manjaro (Arch) Linux rolling release
policy — I don't know how feasible it will be for me to build a point release
of MinGW-GCC-9.4.0; (it is normally recommended that, when building a
crossed-native GCC, the host compiler, and the intermediate cross-compiler, are
at the same point release as the crossed-native compiler which is being built.
If a working MinGW-GCC-9.4.0 cross-compiler cannot be built using the host
GCC-11.2, then I would need to bootstrap a host-native GCC-9.4.0, which is a
painful, and time-consuming exercise.

[GDB unable to insert break-points in code compiled by mingw32-gcc-9.2.0
cross-compiler]
Could this be due to Binutils?
That's a possibility. I don't know, but thanks for the hint.
Maybe GCC 10 requires a newer version of Binutils than the one you have?
Maybe, but I did upgrade binutils, when I built the mingw32-gcc-10.2.0
cross-compiler. Right now, for mingw32-gcc-9.2.0, I have:
$ use mingw32-gcc-9.2.0
$ mingw32-gcc --version

and for mingw32-gcc-10.2.0, I have:
$ use mingw32-gcc-10.2.0
$ mingw32-gcc --version

so, the binutils versions are distinct. IIRC, binutils-2.36.1 was the most
recent available, at the time when I built mingw32-gcc-10.2.0; maybe
binutils-2.36.1 is defective? Today, I've built mingw32-binutils-2.38, so I'll
install that into my mingw32-gcc-10.2.0 path, and advise whether or not it
makes any difference.
Does the program run normally when not debugged?
AFAICT, it appears to, yes.

[GDB unable to insert break-points in code compiled by mingw32-gcc-10.2.0
cross-compiler]
Today, I've built mingw32-binutils-2.38, so I'll install that into my
mingw32-gcc-10.2.0 path, and advise whether or not it makes any difference.
Sadly, with:
$ use mingw32-gcc-10.2.0

there is no improvement; GDB continues to be unable to insert break-points.
On reflection, could it be due to a mismatch between the binutils version
against which GDB was linked — IIRC, I built mingw32-gdb-9.2 using
mingw32-gcc-9.2.0, with mingw32-binutils-2.32 — and the version used to build
the target program — now mingw32-gcc-10.2.0, with mingw32-binutils-2.38? Some
further investigation is required, I think.

If you can make that problematic executable available for download somewhere, I
could try debugging it with the latest GDB 12.1 on MS-Windows, and see how far
I get.
Also, maybe try using -gdwarf-2 when compiling the program, perhaps the problem
is due to the debug info, not the executable code.

Yay! I rebuilt mingw32-binutils-2.32, and installed it into the
mingw32-gcc-10.2.0 path, so I now see:
$ use mingw32-gcc-10.2.0
$ mingw32-gcc --version

and GDB, on the Win7 VM — which was built by mingw32-gcc-9.2.0 with
mingw32-binutils-2.32, IIRC — now works as expected.
The conclusion would seem to be that GDB needs to be linked with the same
version of binutils as is used by the compiler which creates the programs which
are to be debugged; thus, when we publish updated GCC/binutils combinations, it
would seem that we need to simultaneously upgrade GDB, to avoid binutils
(libbfd?) version mismatches.
