If anybody is interested in solving this, I can send a small debug-only file
(objcopy --only-keep-debug, ~250KB) and the sources and the processed
Assembler files (gcc -S). I still can't find how to solve this, debugging via
gdb is quite new to me.

As mentioned this also happens with the cygwin provided gdb. And I just
checked the "Real Thing" on Linux. gdb-6.0 as well as gdb-6.1-debian
crash on this.

Thanks
