Ah, got it.  VirtualAlloc fails on the first _csbrk, since it
is tripping on the VMA of .gnu_debuglink ...  I assumed it would
not be a problem, since it isn't ALLOCced, but oh well...
I tried adding an EXCLUDE/NOLOAD flag to .gnu_debuglink, but no
can do.

10 .cygheap      000a0000  611e0000  611e0000  00000000  2**2
                  ALLOC
11 .gnu_debuglink 00000010  61280000  61280000  001d0a00  2**2
                  CONTENTS, READONLY, DEBUGGING

I'll come up with a different fix.

Cheers,
