I'm using mingw on Linux to cross-compile a windows executable.  It does
not require/use cygwin, but I can use cygwin if that will do what I need.
I'll investigate the dumper tool.

After hours or days, my application crashes.  It's not overly convenient for me
to attach gdb to the process(es), but it can be done if that is the only way.

Is there a way to have gdb automatically start running an app, for instance, something
like this:

gdb --exe=foo.exe --autostart --command="--arg1 --arg2=bar"

I know you can pipe commands in, but that's a bit inconvenient...

Thanks,
Ben
