The DXE Core case is easy to solve as there is a HOB with the information in it. I think the gdb issues you guys hit are caused by a different issue. As I understand it the DebugAgentLib speaks WinDBG. And this agent has a mode where it gets informed about symbol loading. Then there is some kind of bridge that converts WinDBG to gdb server. So it seems like the gdb server should support some kind of qRcmd that asks WinDBG about where symbols got loaded, and then all you need is a gdb python script to execute the qRcmd that would load the symbols based on the info WinDBG has already collected.
