Research direction
Start by reading PR 154840 and issue 155277 to understand the attempted support and why it was reverted. Trace the Rust compiler's GDB visualizer embedding path for *-windows-gnu targets, then verify that the scripts are embedded there without reintroducing the issue that caused the rollback.
