Likely because the added complexity was not worth the effort. It was easier to drop support of Windows 7.

That is, msys2 maintainers are not able to compile gdb without python? And they could also offer gdb with python <=3.8 for Windows 7, gdb with python >=3.9 for Windows 10,11 and higher, gdb with python <=3.4 for Windows XP

Are you incapable of compiling the packages? Are you offering to pay money to the MSys2 team?

I suggest you stop donating to msys2 altogether because they are promoting their vision with donor money, not what the money was intended for.

I suggest you stop donating to msys2 altogether because they are pushing their politics with donor money, not what the money was intended for.

I suggest we both stop posting off topic posts and I suggest you read this website rules if you have not already read them!

I don't want to blame msys2 developers to drop supporting win7, because they supply us so many useful library packages and compilers.
About the gdb, I use gdb Python pretty printer when debugging.

Do you have ucrt installed? I`m asking because such named dlls are present in ucrt, so may be there are less "hack-like" solution.

Such named dlls are present in (Windows 8.0) ...\System32\*.dll , but "hack-like" solution maybe better :)
