Subject:	Debugging dlls using gdb - cannot break inside library function

Hello,

I'm trying to port icu (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu) to cygwin. I 
need to debug one of the libraries dlls.

The problem is, gdb just skips over the calls to the library. I'm able 
to set a breakpoint on a function inside a library or on a line in 
library code. However, gdb never stops on these. It is aware where the 
source files are and it is obvious that the symbols are loaded properly 
- otherwise I wouldn't be able to set the breakpoint.

Here is a part of the build log:
....
c++ -I.  -D_REENTRANT -I. -I/icu/source/common -D_REENTRANT -DUDATA_MAP 
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DU_LIBICUDATA_NAME=\"icudt22l\"

unifunct.o uniset.o upropset.o usetiter.o util.o uenum.o -L../data/out 
-L../stubdata -licudata -lpthread -lm

Here is the nm output for one of the C functions I'm trying to step in:
10007ea0 T _ures_open_2_2
One of the interesting C++ methods:
mangled
10009ad4 T _getString__CQ27icu_2_214ResourceBundleR10UErrorCode
demangled
10009ad4 T icu_2_2::ResourceBundle::getString(UErrorCode &) const

If I try to put a breakpoint at ures open, I get correct response from gdb:
(gdb) b ures_open_2_2
Breakpoint 4 at 0x10007ea9: file /icu/source/common/uresbund.c, line 1404.
But the execution never stops there. I can even put a bp on a line 
inside the library function - also without a result.

All the library functions are included as
extern __declspec(dllimport) ...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
v.
