That was a mistake in the documentation, they didn't actually get around to implementing it. They have since rectified that mistake, but it's only going to be in version 7.7

See bug:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13588
That bug seems to be about adding filtering based on exception type, not about supporting catchpoints in general; the latter have worked for years in gdb-linux (at a minimum, my server at work can do it with gdb-7.4).

The problem here is that gdb-cygwin crashes when running with a catchpoint enabled. I don't see any bugs on Sourceware about that, though I suspect the search interface is terrible so I could be missing something obvious.
