Well Cygwin 'runs' with no problems. The problem here
seems to be a problem a with a binary generated by gcc et al,
that is, it isn't really a Cygwin problem as such.

I do that too, and also use MinGW compiler bundled with
Cygwin's gcc via the -nocygwin option thing.

I tried gdb briefly, but 

(a) its hard to use because it exhibits spurious errors
due to signals Cygwin normally catches

(b) I'm no expert with gdb

I mainly develop on Linux: the building on Cygwin (and using cl)
is just to check the system builds.
