What a strange thing to say. From my experience, gcc on cygwin has been
stable just about forever, but gdb has a history of extreme instability on
cygnus. (The first gdb I used on cygwin had a tendency to crash on about
70% of all debugged-program crashes, and to not show any useful info on
about half the rest. Printf debugging was usually way faster. Or
reproducing the bug on Linux, of course. It's become way better, but I
still don't entirely trust that gdb.)
