title: MinGW's gdb: Compiling linux code onto windows that uses OpenSSL causes seg fault
body: <p>I've recently made an C application that encrypts files back and forth using OpenSSL AES functions, natively made on linux. The front end is uses GTK too. I've got it to build successfullyon windows, however when I start the encryption process I get a seg fault.</p>
  
  <p>Normally I use gdb to find the issue. However the <code>backtrace</code> is not giving any line numbers that I can look into.</p>

  <p>On linux -- which uses the exact same source and makefile -- does not crash and when I force a crash, gdb gives out line numbers that reference to the source code.</p>
  
  <p>Why is gdb not reporting line numbers from my exe source code? If I could find that out I can ultimately discover the source of the seg fault.</p>
