Reverse execution is a new feature that was added to gdb 7.0, although you probably want to use 7.2 for the extra bug fixes. The supported targets are listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/news/reversible.html (nobody has added support for Windows yet) and the instructions on how to use it are on the wiki page linked from that page.
