For Cygwin dlls, look at your installed lib... packages and install the related
lib...-debuginfo packages where available:
$ apt-cyg listall lib*-debuginfo | wc
350 1050 12704
Many Cygwin packages have related -debuginfo packages like other distros have
-debug packages:
$ apt-cyg listall [a-km-zA-Z]*-debuginfo | wc
2110 6330 76602
I am surprised at the number of supported mingw64- packages and the scarcity of
related -debuginfo packages:
$ apt-cyg listall mingw64- | wc
786 2358 31654
