The problem is that 'test' is a standard UNIX utility, and you
likely didn't execute the 'Test.exe' you've just built, but instead
executed /usr/bin/test (which is part of cygwin).

Name your exe something else, and it will work:

  gcc Test_001.c -o Test_001.exe

Alternatively, run your executable explicitly (instead of relying
on your shell and PATH to find it):

  ./Test.exe

You aren't ...

That's because 'gdb' uses different rules to figure out what you
want to do: it tries to find executable in the current directory,
and only then looks at your PATH.
