I also use Insight from CVS head. It works well, and at present
it is for me the *one and only* solution to debug gcc compiled code
on windows! I also tried DDD on cygwin but it is not that reliable.

YES YES YES!!!! I am building insight from CVS frequently to run
on windows. Beside of the stack dump problem in gdb 6.x itself it works
really great!!! I use Insight on cygwin to debug mingw code all day!

Well a replacement GUI would be nice, but should IMHO run also on
windows/cygwin.
