Insight/gdb on MinGW/MSYS (Windows XP)?


Has anyone here got Insight working properly on a MinGW/MSYS setup under Windows XP? Or even a plain gdb? I'm trying to debug applications built by a gcc version set up for target mingw32, using a binary version downloaded from the MinGW project web, but it doesn't work very well. Actually, I can do *some* work, but

   * The debugger crashes in all sorts of unpredictable ways.
   * ... and some predictable ones, too. For instance, I suspect that
     "step into" always leads to a crash.
   * It seems like I can pretty much forget about doing *any* kind of
     debugging of DLLs.
   * When something critical occurs, so that the debugger stops in the
     SIGSEGV handler or similar, it won't know where it came from most
     of the time; the stack window will just show lots of question
     marks, and there is no way to figure out where exactly the code
     crashed.
   * The same thing happens if I stop in something like a Glib error
     handler.
