You don't need to build a cygwin1.dll debug version, just download a snapsh=
ot
with its corresponding .dbg file, plus the sources if you want to get gdb i=
nto
cygwin1 (the sources have to be installed in the same place as the debug in=
fo
was created with, you'll see the path when gdb complains about not finding =
the
source).

And to answer your question, on a P4 AT 2 DOT 8GHz it takes less than 10 minutes.
