Did you make sure to set solib-absolute-prefix as needed? It must
point to a directory on the host where GDB can find the versions of
the needed libraries with debug symbols (i. e. the sysroot directory
with installed debug packages).

Please see also the related Yocto documentation.

Best regards,
