Well, if you intend to use a cross-debugger eventually, it's probably best to start out with one now. They don't need as much support for the host as a native debugger, and so are more likely to build. In the case of MinGW, this is particularly true. If the debugger does not yet support your target then just pick a random target and pipe-clean your build with that. Some have issues of their own, but most work. > Thanks for all the help.
