Research direction

Start by reproducing bindgen against the linked caracal7/bindgentest project on the reported setup, then compare generation for the uSockets subfolder, which reportedly behaves normally. Identify why the project-wide case is slower and verify that the change improves its runtime without regressing the working comparison.
