You don't need to build a cygwin1.dll debug version, just download a snapshot
with its corresponding .dbg file, plus the sources if you want to get gdb into
cygwin1 (the sources have to be installed in the same place as the debug info
was created with, you'll see the path when gdb complains about not finding the
source).

And to answer your question, on a P4@2.8GHz it takes less than 10 minutes.
