You have to disassemble the program, see how the parameters are expected, 
what is passed... It may be a mix of compilation flags, a compiler bug, a 
memory overwrite, etc...
No possible conclusion with such a few information.

Do *not* use -g with -m68020-60 when linking, due to the ill GCC/MiNTLib 
behaviour which has been the standard for ages in SpareMiNT.

This is good news !

Yes, this is a possible problem. But only for floats, and you are speaking 
about integers. It is unlikely to be the real cause. But who knows.

Yes, unfortunately.

And you use Cygwin, which is nice and compatible, but very slow.
On Linux, it would take 5 minutes ;-)
