And the cause of the failure seems to be mutual recursion in
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/cmath

where at line 458:
  template<typename _Tp>
    int
    __capture_isnan(_Tp __f) { return isnan(__f); }

which calls at line 532:
  template<typename _Tp>
    int
    isnan(_Tp __f) { return __capture_isnan(__f); }

which calls back to __capture_isnan().

Incidentally, the stackdump file produced here is empty, so addr2line
can't help...
