I thought porting gdb would be the difficult part of getting debug info. I was so wrong.

Here is what I have so far, after lengthy consultation of the gdb manual.  Bear with me...it's basically a copy & paste of gdb session output:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /bld/pyt/cpython-android/python
setpgrp failed in child: No such process
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers
and track explicitly loaded dynamic code.

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0xb6a63cc8 in ?? ()
(gdb) f
#0  0xb6a63cc8 in ?? ()
(gdb) info f
