No, I am comming from a Debian/Ubuntu background where it simply
worked. Now I try to port Gentoo to Cygwin and it doesn't always work.
So I have to dig a little deeper to get it working, asking myself what
makes theese working while others break.

Thank you very much for all extensive hints. Unfortunately Cygwin is
not ELF but PE/COFF so all ELF debugging tools do not help. I even
have to tweak an eclasses where it relies on scanelf.
