can't run arm-elf-gdb in Cygwin

Hi,

I try to run arm-elf-gdb on Cygwin/WindowsXP, so I can connect
evaluation board (ATMEL EB40) through a serial link.

However, I met an error while launching gdb:

GNU gdb 5.0
Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are 
welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain 
conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions.
There is absolutely no warranty for GDB.  Type "show warranty" for details. 
This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-cygwin 
--target=arm-elf".Segmentation fault (core dumped)

(p.s. attachment is the dump file)

I tried several version of gdb include gdb-5.0, gdb-5.2.1, gdb-5.3.
But the result are all the same.

Other GNU tools version (those I rebuilded for ARM):
binutils-2.11.2
gcc-2.95.3
newlib-1.9.0


I also used insight try to debug "arm-elf-gdb",
the error seems generated from Line 934 of utils.c

Would you please help me with this problem, thank you.

David Jea

I've similar experience with my arm-elf-gdb 5.3.
But `strace arm-elf-gdb` do not segfault. Strange.

cygwin-1.3.19-1

I've seen this reported in three different mailing lists now.

This is a problem in newlib which was fixed by Jonathan Larmour.
The fix will be in cygwin-1.3.20.

You can download a cygwin snapshot by clicking on the snapshot
link at http://cygwin.com/ .  The most recent snapshot is close to
what will become 1.3.20.
