Ok, let's stop quarreling and return to the facts. On my system
debugging with cygwin-1.3.3-2 is also not possible - debuggee receives
unknown signals before reaching main(). I reproduced it on the empty
program (after encountering on the real one). It is indeed a
regression - downgrading to cygwin-1.3.2-1 makes debugging fine. There
were several other messages stating that debugging doesn't work with
1.3.3 and changing to 1.3.2 fixes the problem. So it seems that it is
in fact a bug. It doesn't mean that cygwin developers must start
working on it immediately and I (as, I guess, other bug reporters)
don't expect it, but it should be registered as a known bug and bug
reports should be treated like efforts to provide help to someone who
will eventually work on fixing it.
