Unless you overrode the default, qemu is compiled with optimization. In this
case gcc and gdb will do their best, but it's normal for the debug
information to be inaccurate. In particular there's no requirement that the
compiler create a full stack frame, so you're relying on being able to track
where the compiler happens to put things. Different toolchain versions are
able to do this with different levels of accuracy.
If you're backtracing through dynamically generated code that will almost
certainly confuse the debugger.
Once you hit a frame that gdb doesn't know about [???] all bets are off, and
the rest of the backtrace is most likely random garbage.
