  This approach can be used on normal boards as well as sandbox.

+When debugging with gdb, it's better to disable Link Timer Optimizations
+(CONFIG_LTO = n).

CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUG should be mentioned here too.

I will add this when merging.

Should CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUG disable LTO?

The usefulness of LTO=n, CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUG=y for debugging is not
sandbox specific but applies to QEMU and JTAG debugging too.

I think the section "Debugging the init sequence" should not live on a
page that is sandbox specific. Instead we should add a new page on
debugging U-Boot.
