See this bug report:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2011-01/msg00130.html

(The thread's last message is in February; or look in the bug database
directly via http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=7789.)

Bottom line seems to be: it's possible, but tricky.

I spend a lot of time to make work jabber.el with GTalk.

Native/Cygwin 'openssl' have hard resolve problem with Emacs
(for me xD, don't remember what).

So I try 'gnutls'. Before get working setup I try different native
build of 'gnutls' without happiness with a lot of weeks of tries.
Look for data in my ask for help :)

On emacswiki page I read about success with Cygwin 'gnutls'.
And I decide remove all hardly unite in friendship native ports
and install Cygwin. And all work as on Linux!

So I recommend use Cygwin instead of learning GDB!
