Has anyone gotten gdb to work on Windows 2000 (with cygwin, of course)?

Below is a simple program which runs but not under gdb.  I have downloaded
and built gdb but cannot debug it either.  I can run the version
of gdb shipped with cygwin, but it has no symbols.  See below:

Administrator@VAIO ~/db/build_unix
$ cat test.c
 main() {

        printf ("hello\n");
}

Administrator@VAIO ~/db/build_unix
$ gcc -g -o test.exe test.c

Administrator@VAIO ~/db/build_unix
$ ./test.exe
hello
