Alright if I download and compile it can I just mv gdb.exe into /bin
and
overwrite gdb.exe?

use
./configure --prefix=/
make
make install

and it should end up in the right place

I actually usually use

./configure --prefix=/usr


and everything ends up in the correct place
I always put stuff like this in ~/apps/$APP_NAME-$VERSION and add the appropriate bits to PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and MANPATH... then later when I decide to upgrade/change/revert it's a simple matter of changing environment veriables...
