                        ^^^^^^^^^

That's your problem.  You've deleted `--annotate=3' from the prompt 
emacs gave you.  emacs-23 needs that to be there.  M-x gdb works fine 
for me like that, using both gdb 7.3.50-1 and 7.3.50-3 (which is now 
available).  I tested with Cygwin 1.7.9 as well as with the latest snapshot.
