No, I don't think so.

Maybe the binary gets stripped somehow, I don't know.  Or maybe it's
some problem with GCC/GDB in the Cygwin ports.  Please try this
in the Emacs `src' directory:

   gdb ./bootstrap-emacs.exe

If it still says "no debugging symbols", you need to find out why is
this happening, because it's impossible to debug a program without
debugging symbols.

Then maybe there's another problem with the Cygwin GDB.

Or maybe this is something else altogether.  Note that this line:

> Fatal error (6)/bin/sh: line 2:  1388 Aborted                 (core
> dumped)

seems to indicate that the program that crashed is /bin/sh, the ported
Bash, not Emacs.  Can you verify that it's the shell that crashes
(e.g., by looking at the PID)?

Another thing to try is downgrade to the previous version of Cygwin.
