Thanks for the update.

If you bootstrap Emacs with a version of GCC that does produce the
correct debug symbols, does the original problem (Emacs crashing or
hanging) disappear?  If it does not disappear, can you at least run
Emacs under GDB (perhaps upgrade your GDB as well to the latest Cygwin
port) and see where it crashes/hangs?
