In general yes, as a new program can't start up when the hardware has been
left in an unknown state.

You could _try_ setting a breakpoint on cyg_test_exit, and then when it is
reached, just quitting GDB, and then run GDB again with a new program. But
it may not work at all, or may not work reliably. The only way to be sure
is to reboot each time.
