Is the following what you want?  It doesn't seem very informative...

(gdb) up 0
#0  x_error_quitter (display=0x555555ead980, event=0x7fffffffc950)
    at /home/steve/src/emacs/emacs-master/src/xterm.c:26905
26905   {
(gdb) p *error
$1 = {void (const char *, ...)} 0x55555575ae68 <error>

FWIW, I get the same output when I run Emacs in gdb with -xrm
"emacs.synchronous: true", as requested by Eli.

How do I know if there was an extension request?  The -ext flag requires
an extension-name as argument.
