Mostly yes, the executable does not depend on the type of machine on
which it is built. However there is one caveat: the debug info in the
executable will reference the source files on the build machine, i.e.
your Linux box; unless you make clever use of mount points and/or
symbolic links, the file paths won't work on your cygwin box; hence
gdb will find it difficult to locate the various source files. The gdb
'directory' command may help a bit with this problem.
