Yes it does.

This seems to be because I have "set output-radix 16" in ~/.gdbinit, so 
it displays the raw hex value. After "set output-radix 10" it displays 
the value as -1. Nothing untoward here.

MSYS2 is a rolling release distro, so the runtime, binutils and compiler 
are regularly updated. Currently that is gcc 10.2.0, and binutils 2.35, 
and msys2 runtime 3.1.7, all of which have been updated in recent weeks.
