That was sarcasm, I guess?

In any case, I'm not sure why you think developing for Windows in the
relevant use cases is something that needs some super-natural
endurance capabilities: I develop using Emacs, GCC, Binutils, GDB,
Grep, Find, and all the other tools you are familiar with.  It's very
similar to developing on a Posix platform.  GDB doesn't support debug
info in formats emitted by Windows compilers, it only supports
GCC-emitted info, AFAIK.

And two lines of extra output you don't expect are not a show-stopper,
but they do make you stop and think for a moment whether this is
something your code did.
