Hi René,

Thanks for your attempts at having me dig deeper. So far, I am not
striking lucky. Here's the various outputs, that don't say anything
obvious to me:
User-PC-> echo $PATH
/home/User/exe.CYGWIN:/home/User/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Dell/DW WLAN
Card:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/WIDCOMM/Bluetooth Software:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/WIDCOMM/Bluetooth Software/syswow64:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Git/cmd:/usr/bin:.:/cygrive/c/cygwin/bin:/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin

===>so yes, /usr/bin is there.

User-PC-> ldd hello.exe
        ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/SysWOW64/ntdll.dll (0x77720000)
        kernel32.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll (0x768b0000)
        KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/KERNELBASE.dll
(0x77230000)
        cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000)

===>no missing items

User-PC-> file hello.exe
hello.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

===>nothing here that worries me either.

Any other thoughts?

No doubt overdone, but here's the code:
User-PC-> cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int arg, char **argv) {
printf("Hello, world!\n");
}

and compilation was just by make hello... The simplest thing ever,
you'd say... The only real clue as far as I can see is the exception
in the last line but one of the strace output. But I don't know how to
read that.

STOP PRESS: in gdb, the output IS there:
User-PC-> gdb hello.exe

(gdb)

Which is dandy, but then why, outside of gdb, is there nothing at all?
Still stumped!
