 From gdb-ui.el:

;; GDB developers plan to make the annotation interface obsolete.  A new
;; interface called GDB/MI (machine interface) has been designed to replace
;; it.  Some GDB/MI commands are used in this file through the CLI command
;; 'interpreter mi <mi-command>'.  A file called gdb-mi.el is included with
;; GDB (6.2 onwards) that uses GDB/MI as the primary interface to GDB.

;; annotations to GDB/MI.

But my emacs (GNU Emacs 22.0.93.1) doesn't have such a thing, and 
MinGW's gdb (that I just downloaded) says it's version 5.2.1.

However, making it work sounds like it may be as easy as downloading the 
gdb-mi.el file and throwing it in one's site-lisp directory.

The comment in that file says it will work with emacs 22.x.
