That would be an improvement. The MinGW-built compiler works much
faster, and I think most people don't even use GDB but prefer debugging
with printf & LEDs. Or are ther any compatibility problems with the ELF
files generated by the MinGW compiler?

In my experience Insight doesn't work very stable at all. If anybody
should manage to build DDD with Cygwin this would be a much better
solution.
