have  you  tried  starting  f:\home\bin\gdb.exe  from "windows command
prompt   (from  cmd.exe)?  This  should  be (almost) equivalent to the 
way  cygwin1.dll starts program specified in error_start. You can also
try  running text-mode version of  gdb:  'f:\home\bin\gdb.exe -nw'. if
this  works  from  command  prompt,  then  you  can  create batch file
f:\home\bin\error_start.cmd with a single line in it:

f:\home\bin\gdb.exe -nw %1 %2

and set CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty error_start=f:\home\bin\error_start.cmd
