I discovered that if I open a "Nios II 14.0 Command Shell" and run eclipse-nios2.exe from the resulting Cygwin bash shell, then Eclipse is able to start gdbserver and run the debugger in the "Nios II Debug" perspective correctly. Previously, I had been using the "Nios II 14.0 Software Build Tools for Eclipse" shortcut installed in the Start menu by the Altera installer and encountered the gdbserver problem that I reported. I have automated this startup sequence for SBT for Eclipse and will settle for that.
