That talks about ansi-term.  ansi-term doesn't work on MS-Windows
(because sub-processes cannot use PTYs to talk to Emacs), and in
particular the stty command will not do what you expect, so the error
is expected.

Your original report said something much more general: that starting
programs with start-process didn't work, including invoking GDB.  If
that was also via ansi-term, then there's nothing more to do here,
it's just a limitation of Emacs on Windows.  To invoke GDB from Emacs,
use "M-x gdb" instead.

Thanks.
