Hi...

You meant -O3? well, IMO, you don't need -O at all. AFAIK mixing -g or
-ggdb with -O{1,2,3} is a bad thing, since it will render the DWARF
information inside the ELF file (in this case, the vmlinux)
inconsistent with the runtime context (line number, current EIP
correlated with break points).

Of course, this assume that there is no bugs while Qemu inspect and
found that it must pause at certain address... I believe Jasson Wessel
had squashed all that kind of bugs in the past.

Mulyadi.
