lcc-win32 gives a stack trace down to the exact line if you compile
everything with -g4 (mixing modules might be possible with -g3, and will 
show a function call trace without making use of the stack (?)).

Otherwise just referencing a NULL ptr from g_debug won't do much in the
GPF box, as the address listed will be for g_debug.

You might try using the standard C functions, printf fprintf etc. They
should all work using either CRTDLL.DLL (minimalist gnu-win32, lcc) or
MSVCRT??.DLL, and follow redirection correctly.
