[Mono-list] Debugging Mono applications under GDB

We have a server application that's being developed under Visual Studio and run under Mono 3.12. We're generating .mdb files from the .pdbs that VS creates. With those deployed next to the executable, mono will give full callstacks with source and line information when logging exceptions, so I believe the .mdbs are correct.
I've read http://www.mono-project.com/docs/debug+profile/debug/ so many times I can quote it by heart, but I still can't get gdb to give me any useful symbols. I'm using gdb 7.6.1, so according to the docs, it should just use the JIT interface to get symbols.
Is there any way to troubleshoot the loading of symbols by gdb? There are examples for how to generate xdb shared object files (I've tried them, but as doesn't like some of the assembly that MONO_XDEBUG generates) but nothing on the new JIT interface other than "it should work".
I do get errors like "../../gdb/dwarf2-frame.c:683: internal-error: Unknown CFI encountered." I'm not sure if those are relevant to my problem. A sample gdb session is below.
Thanks,
chris
