Look at the Win32 API. There are some APIs that allow you to get a stack
trace and walk it. Not sure if it will work with Cygwin/gcc but you might
want to investigate it. Sorry, I forget the details of the functionality
(or even the names of the calls!) It's been a while. But you should be 
able to find it at the MSDN site.
Good luck,
