Looks like you found the appropriate solution :-)

Just for the record, as I understand it Kees uses the MinGW port of the GNU
Compiler Collection to build the GnuWin32 binaries.  Even if he had built with
debugging symbols enabled, you would not have been able to use it with Microsnot's
debugger, for the two compilers use completely different, and thoroughly incompatible
formats for the debugging info.  To debug binaries built with GCC, you need
to use the GNU Symbolic Debugger, GDB, (which of course, AFAIK, doesn't understand
Microsnot's debugging symbols).  You cannot mix the two incompatible formats
of debugging info, with any realistic expectation of usability.
