Huh? The compilation of the Fedora-gdb-sources for Windows? Fedora comes
with an out-of-the-box mingw cross-compiler. (Not really a vm)

yum install mingw32-gcc mingw32-binutils mingw32-w32api
get gdb sources through git (Archer)
./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --disable-werror
make

Wait and copy gdb/gdb.exe to a Windows machine to test. For this to work
you need to have all other gdb build-dependencies installed on your
machine, ofcourse.
