WFM.  This is with self-built cygwin1.dll.  Only obvious difference is my build 
directory is set up like FAQ says, building in /oss/build and with /oss/src 
symlinked to where Cygwin source tree resides.  Here's what that looks like:

~/src/forker gdb forker
GNU gdb (GDB) (Cygwin 7.10.1-1) 7.10.1
[...]
Reading symbols from forker...done.
(gdb) b child_info_fork::alloc_stack
Function "child_info_fork::alloc_stack" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (child_info_fork::alloc_stack) pending.
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 2 at 0x100401253: file forker.c, line 158.
(gdb) r 1
Starting program: /home/Mark/src/forker/forker 1
[New Thread 12628.0x494]
[New Thread 12628.0x327c]

Breakpoint 2, main (argc=2, argv=0xffffcc10) at forker.c:158
158         if (argc != 2) {
(gdb) i br
Num     Type           Disp Enb Address            What
1       breakpoint     keep y   0x0000000180046350 in 
child_info_fork::alloc_stack() at /oss/src/winsup/cygwin/dcrt0.cc:407
2       breakpoint     keep y   0x0000000100401253 in main at forker.c:158
         breakpoint already hit 1 time
(gdb)

..mark
