Research direction

Start with the reported QEMU/GDB session and the breakpoint at sbi_init in lib/sbi/sbi_init.c, line 467. Reproduce the stepping and continuing behavior from the transcript, then investigate why GDB cannot find the current function bounds. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or correcting the debugging procedure.
