Description
Verification
- I searched for similar issues (including closed issues) and found none was relevant.
Introduce the issue
As discussed in #1587 debugging from the devcontainer still does not properly load the source map. My guess was/is that the pinetime-app-1.x.x.map file is the source/symbol file but gdb errors out with can't read symbols: file format not recognized.
Does GDB need additional configuring or is this not the correct source file for debugging with DGB?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the devcontainer debugging setup and the discussion in #1587, then reproduce the failure using GDB with pinetime-app-1.x.x.map. Determine which source or symbol file GDB should load and whether additional configuration is required; done means debugging from the devcontainer loads the source and symbols without the format error.
