I think you should enable symbols in sc by running make clean && make
-sr debug=true in sc.

Then normally

EXPORT GDBCPPUNITTRACE="gdb --args" should open a gdb shell where you
just type run and can debug the unit test like a normal program. It
might be a bit tricky depending on which unit test you want to debug
because this works only for the first one. So you might need to remove
the second one from Module_sc.mk if you want to debug the other one.
