Details

Android's xpcshell run via xpcw shell script, but we don't write debugger path and parameter to this script.
We made an effort to support JimDB for debugging Firefox for Android, and mochitests on Android, but, as far as I know, we never tried debugging xpcshell. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android/GDB doesn't explicitly mention xpcshell.
I suspect this will not work (what will gdb do if asked to debug a shell script that launches an executable?), but there is this provision: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/fc194660762d1b92e1679d860a8bf41116d0f54f/testing/xpcshell/remotexpcshelltests.py#135
