Insight, which is the latest GUI-fied incarnation of gdb, is a very
nice piece of work, and works with any win32 executable created by
GCC on x86-win32 (ie., you can debug Cygwin, Mingw, UWIN etc execs
with insight).

See http://sourceware.cygnus.com/insight/ for more info on the
debugger (site has screen dumps I believe).

The current build (URL below) needs Cygwin DLL to run. I have neither
the time nor the inclination at this time to build a native version
that does not require cygwin (it's going to take quite a bit of 
configuration twiddling and some code changes to get everything 
working under Mingw; contribution/fixes welcome of course). If you 
want to debug Mingw code, you can download my prebuilt insight binaries, 
get *just* the cygwin1.dll file from Cygnus (URL below) and run it.

Cygwin prebuilt DLL:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/snapshot-19990115/
(after uncompressing with bunzip2, rename it to cygwin1.dll)

Insight binaries:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/ports/insight-19990823-cygb20.tar.gz

If you insist on not using Cygwin DLL, then this obviously doesn't help
you much.
