Add this to xc/config/cf/host.def (this file does not exist in CVS)

#define OptimizedCDebugFlags   -ggdb3 -fno-strength-reduce -DCYGDEBUG -DCYGMULTIWINDOW_DEBUG

you can omit the -DCYGDEBUG -DCYGMULTIWINDOW_DEBUG since this only adds 
extra output to the console logging

important is the -ggdb3 since it will instruct gcc to create debug symbols
