I use VS2019 and remotely debug an Arm Linux target. I've set VS to gdbserver. I can't step into libstdc++ functions like the new operator, so to enter contructors I have to set breakpoints. The Target doesn't have gcc installed. Can I map gcc source from my host's C (or WSL) drive? I already use "Additional Sources File Path Map" for my own source code, could it be used for stdlibc++ source too?
My alternative would be to try and install gdb proper on the target but that would be a last resort.

When I look at modules - I see VS is trying to locate pdb files.
The shared object libraries exist on the WSL drive, eg: U:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so -
