I further investigated and found in config log that gdb build is not
detecting python in cygwin. The following log from config.log:

configure:11376: checking for python2.4
configure:11396: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2    conftest.c -lncurses
-lz -lm   -lpython2.4 >&5
conftest.c:49:30: python2.4/Python.h: No such file or directory
...
configure:11240: checking for python2.6
configure:11260: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2    conftest.c -lncurses
-lz -lm   -lpython2.6 >&5
conftest.c:49:30: python2.6/Python.h: No such file or directory
...
configure:11308: checking for python2.5
configure:11328: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2    conftest.c -lncurses
-lz -lm   -lpython2.5 >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lpython2.5

'make all install' log gives:
checking whether to use python... auto
checking for python2.6... no
checking for python2.5... no
checking for python2.4... no

This is probably because python development packages (Equivalent to
python2.5-dev deb package) are not installed. Unfortunately it is not
available for cygwin. Is there any other way to solve this issue?

Thanks,
Sreejith
