Eli, the executable is built by Cygwin gcc,, but I don't know how to
find out the file name and the compilation directory actually recorded
in the debug info of the executable. Which command prints this info?
 We invoke gcc and gdb from Java IDE, which servers as front end.
And the main problem with file names in Cygwin format is that Java
does not understand such names, so we have to translate them to
Windows format, which is not a trivial task in general case, because
there could be many mounted filesystems, like "/tmp/...",
"/usr/include/..."
and so on.

Thanks,
Nik
