OK I checked the documentation for this. You say setting sysroot is
broken now. How exactly is your suggested option for *remote*
debugging? And please note: Installing -dbg packages is not an option:

* It explodes image's size
* problems are caused by having only one -dbg per recipe: due to
dependencies conflicting packages are installed causing build to break
* it is terribly slow: All source code is transferred by network
during debugging
* a quick starting up of debugger is impossible - a new image has to be created.
