Sometimes there can be multiple cyg_user_start's floating around, and GDB
chooses the wrong one (it's a known problem), so be sure to set a
breakpoint on the cyg_user_start that actually gets executed.
Also try it on unoptimized code. Debugging optimized code can sometimes
(although fortunately rarely) fail.
