Besides having debug versions and source and using the debugger you mean?
Well, there is strace if you like looking at that sort of output. ;-)
You might be best off trying to narrow down a sequence of actions that
reproduces the problem.  And of course there's always cygcheck output
that can be helpful in determining if there are any general installation
issues.  See <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for details.
