Look at the Win32 API.  There are some APIs that allow you to get a stack
trace and walk it.  Not sure if it will work with Cygwin/gcc but you might
want to investigate it.  Sorry, I forget the details of the functionality
(or even the names of the calls!)  It's been a while.  But you should be 
able to find it at the MSDN site.

Good luck,
