You will find a patch in the attachment for your problems and also a
spec-file for rpm which will give you an idea about the steps I did to
build gdb (Which also works fine on Win2000)

One hint:

fetch the latest libtool from ftp.gnu.org and the use libtoolize
--copy --force to make configure detect i686-pc-cygwin
