What do you get if you do a:

  M-:
  (getenv "GDBTK_LIBRARY")

Have you tried using the modified swarm.exe I posted to generate
the elisp variable settings?

M-x gdb seems to work ok for me with the "swarm -e > vars.el" output, although
unless you inherit a PATH with gdb.exe in it from the environment,
you'd need to specify the full gdb path by hand or add it Emacs' exec-path,
like so -- after doing a (load "/Swarm/vars.el").

(setq exec-path (append (list (concat (getenv "CYGROOT")
                                      "\\H-i386-cygwin32\bin"))))

Maybe this is just the result of optimization?  Does it help to
disable optimization by passing "OPTFLAGS=-O0" on the command line of
`make' for a rebuild of your application and/or a recompile of Swarm itself?
