Re: cygwin 5.19 make bootstrap croaks

Yes Eli, your crystal ball was right on.

        gdb ./temacs.exea
        run -batch -l loadup bootstrap


but, I'm getting a

   ".gdbinit:793: Error in sourced command file: "
   "Cannot access memory at address 0x20000004   "

----------.gdbinit line 793 is the last end of the below 'if' ----
# People get bothered when they see messages about non-existent functions...
xgetptr Vsystem_type
# $ptr is NULL in temacs
if ($ptr != 0)
  set $tem = (struct Lisp_Symbol *) $ptr
  xgetptr $tem->xname
  set $tem = (struct Lisp_String *) $ptr
  set $tem = (char *) $tem->data

# x_error_quitter is defined only on X.  But window-system is set up

When I ignorantly ingore this and try to run it anyway I get:

When re-ran again than then issuing a 'l'ist cmd I got:

This is a cygwin 5.19.

In the meanwhile I am reading the /etc/DEBUG documentation and more 
about gdb.
