One way is to attach to the process when it's running.  Compile the DLL 
with debug symbols, run the program and get the DLL loaded, then use the 
"attach <PID>" gdb command to break into the running process.

More detailed instructions on getting the PID are here: 
<http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/debuggingR/gdb.shtml#gdbattach>. 
  These are written assuming the main program is R (a stats package), 
but they should work for anything with obvious modifications.
