There is something fishy with quoting, Cygwin and gdb so you have to comment out BIG_STACK_OPTS. 

Then I added:

emacsdbg = EMACSLOADPATH=$(lisp) LC_ALL=C gdb -ex 'b abort' -ex run --args $(EMACS) $(EMACSOPT)

and used it:

compile-onefile:
	echo Compiling $(THEFILE)
	@# Use byte-compile-refresh-preloaded to try and work around some of
	@# the most common bootstrapping problems.
	$(emacsdbg) $(BYTE_COMPILE_FLAGS) \
		-l bytecomp -f byte-compile-refresh-preloaded \
		-f batch-byte-compile $(THEFILE)

The modifications where done in the generated Makefile. I guess it will work in Makefile.in also.
