Re: bug#39118: Segfault while building on 64-bit Cygwin

[John Cowan]

I'm no longer talking about Cygwin (which builds fine without JIT).  I'm now talking about MacOS Catalina, which needs a core dump to debug, but on which nobody seems to know how to enable core dumps.

This won't work on cygwin. If you want a core dump, you should use the
dumper tool, as described here
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dumper.html
Or you can set error_start to gdb to get an interactive gdb session on error.
