I think you've hit the proverbial brick wall. Gdb uses setjmp/longjmp,
and I suspect it always will.
Apparently, there may be API errors between the unix way and the windows
way of dealing with this call. Here's a start: Is it possible that gcc
and msdev are using different memory layouts?
I would try writing a small test application which does setjmp/longjmp
and compiling that with mingw gcc. Does it work work?
