Hi,

I have a problem when trying to use gdb with a program compiled with
gcc in Cygwin.

I compile this program:

<main.c>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    return 0;
}
</main.c>

with this command:

  gcc -g main.c

and I get this file:

  9757 Jun 24 09:00 a.exe

I then start gdb:

  gdb a.exe

and running the program in gdb works:

  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /c/TEMP/a.exe
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/ntdll.dll
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/kernel32.dll
  Loaded symbols for /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/advapi32.dll
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/rpcrt4.dll

  Program exited normally.

but doing the same with a breakpoint yields SIGSEGV:

  gdb a.exe
  (gdb) list
  1       int main(int argc, char** argv)
  2       {
  3           return 0;
  4       }
  (gdb) break 3
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x40107a: file main.c, line 3.
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /c/TEMP/a.exe
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/ntdll.dll
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/kernel32.dll
  Loaded symbols for /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/advapi32.dll
  Loaded symbols for /c/WINNT/system32/rpcrt4.dll

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  [Switching to thread 5856.0x171c]
  0x005c004d in ?? ()
  (gdb)

What could be wrong?

`gcc -v' yields:

When starting gdb, I get:
