As I understand it Visual Studio has a gdb "frontend" (not sure what that
means), so maybe that is it on my PC side of things. The Android NDK ships with
a prebuilt gdbserver, which Visual Studio deploys with my application to the
Android device. I thought that adb was communicating with that, but maybe it is
Visual Studio itself. In trying to track down my local gdb file to update it, I
debugged my application from Visual Studio and looked in Task Manager to see
what programs were running. I saw adb but no gdb, so that's why I was thinking
that VS was using adb. I'll look into how Visual Studio's gdb debugger works
and see if I can track that down.

Incidentally, do you think that the error is originating from the gdbserver on
the device or from the gdb on my host PC? The way it emits seems like Visual
Studio is sending a command to gdbserver to retrieve the callstack when the
breakpoint hits and gdbserver is replying that the specified command is not
handled. Does that correct? If so, that would imply that the host debugger in
VS is more up-to-date than the gdbserver instance running on the device.
