Long story in short:
After moving some C , C++ projects placed on an USB-stick between
different versions of Eclipse/CDT environments I discovered some “unfriendly” behavior while using GDB from MinGW as debugger inside the CDT-Eclipse-Plug-In:
You can’t start or end the Debug-Run operation, because
•  you get error messages from invalid path or environment settings
•  you get no error messages, but the launching mechanism doesn’t work 
•  launching mechanism freezes
•  you can’t terminate a launching process
On other Eclipse/CDT environments none of these problems occur with the same projects on the same USB-stick.
That forces me to do some behavior researches on systematically chosen Eclipse/CDT environments.
I did my research on Windows XP Home SP3 (German version), but I could verify it on Windows XP Professional SP3 (English version).

For my complete analysis please see the attached file. It containts screenshots as "pdf_file_attachments" inside.

 Robert
