This doesn't seem to be the latest cygwin release version of gdb.

Updating the Cygwin DLL will have little effect on things like gcc and gdb.
You're running older versions of both gcc and gdb.  It also looks like this
is SEGVing in a DLL, for some reason.  "info dll" might show you what dlls
are loaded, or at least it will in the most recent version of gdb.
