elf32-littlearm symbol format unrecognized debugging Native Android code

Issue

I'm trying to debug some native Android code built through the NDK. Unfortunately, when I launch the process under the debugger from Eclipse I get an error

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that.  Symbol format `elf32-littlearm' unknown.

The code is compiled for ARM thumb so the symbol format makes sense. However, using Google's bundled ADT for Eclipse should work? Do I need to specify a specific version of GDB to use?

To note, the code runs fine without trying to debug.

I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit with NDK release 10.

Solution

After some searching it looks like it is a bug with the GDB shipped with the NDK r10 toolchain. See https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=74371. The download linked from that bug seems to work for me.
