Description
Remote debug on a device in Visual Studio with my extension based on MIEngine. When debugger stops at a point in libc.so, I got error message "libc.pdb not loaded". That is misleading as we are not doing Windows app debug. Is it possible the message can be customized to just "Symbol file not found" ?

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the remote-debug scenario in Visual Studio on a device, then locate where the “libc.pdb not loaded” message is produced and check the surrounding source-page handling. Done means missing symbols produce the requested generic “Symbol file not found” message without implying Windows PDB debugging.
