Sorry, I still don't get it: I know what the `tty' command does, but I
don't understand what is its problem on non-Unix platforms. I don't
see anything dubious in the code that implements the command.

And that's exactly what win32-nat.c does, please take a look.

How is this different from what GDB already does?

Again, see win32-nat.c (search for "inferior_io_terminal").
I'm afraid I'm missing something.
