I've used "nm -al my.exe" and it seems to have it right but paths are 
windows-like = they start with a letter designating the drive. Could 
this confuse insight/gdb built for cygwin?

Another thing is that when I use mingw version of gdb (5.2.1) and issue 
"info func main" it just crashes (the cygwin version of gdb is fine in 
this case but finds wrong paths). I guess I'll report the crash to mingw 
people...

I've looked into this and it seems to work. Actually starting insight 
from the root directory of my project as $cwd makes it find the sources 
so I guess I just live with that. I didn't realize that the working 
directory of gdb would have so much effect :(

I am a bit stressed for time now, but I might ask later about this issue 
(I already have a list of things to ask about the tools I use, but it 
has to wait 3 more weeks :().

Thanks for your help.
