When debugging gdb with itself here, you'll need to use 'set
cygwin-exceptions on' to allow it to stop on exceptions inside the
cygwin DLL.
See https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.debugging-cygwin
(This would be a lot more usable if gdb ignored exceptions inside the
specific functions where it makes sense to do that (e.g.
verifyable_object_isvalid, etc.), rather than anywhere in the cygwin
DLL, if someone wants to fix that...)

Thanks for the reproduction instructions.
This seems to be the issue discussed in [1], fixed by [2].
This fix is contained in the 8.2.1-1 Cygwin test release of gdb.
