Either I could work on winedbg to match gdb's features, or I could try to make gdb understand Wine better. Given the amount of useful frontends for gdb, it seems wiser to go for the second option.
gdb can debug Windows programs compiled with Cygwin or mingw if you compile gdb with support for PE executables (I expect you know that already).

I wouldn't mind knowing what people think of the technique. I was wondering
This was discussed at wineconf, well, getting gdb to work with wine was discussed at wineconf because of the huge value in having a graphical front end for debugging.
Ont major problem is that gdb doesn't understand wine's handling of windows threads, even if it does understand the windows pe format.
Ulrich Weigand gave a great presentation where he talked about how the debugger is currently implemented, and things that would need to be done to have more support from gdb.
Ulrich, you want to post your presentation here?
What about writing a backend support for DDD and winedbg?
