Debugging with GDBStub hangs

Hello. I'm trying to setup interactive debugging with Clion for Wemos D1 mini using GDBStub library. I see that there is an open request for this feature in the repo #43, but still no progress.

Following the GDBStub instruction, I configured my project and debugging works smoothly if I use xtensa-lx106-elf-gdb directly, but If I try to debug with pio debug it hangs on target remote GDB command. This is what running debugging looks like:

% /opt/homebrew/bin/pio debug --interface=gdb -x .pioinit -v -e d1_mini

Here is the C code I'm using:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <GDBStub.h>

void setup() {
    gdbstub_init();
    pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); 
    delay(1000); 
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); 
    delay(1000); 
}

And the platformio.ini:

[env:d1_mini]
platform = espressif8266
board = d1_mini
framework = arduino
debug_port = /dev/cu.usbserial-110

build_flags = -ggdb3 -Og -g3 -O0

debug_tool = custom
debug_server =
    /Users/user/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa/bin/xtensa-lx106-elf-gdb
    -b
    115200
    -x
    /Users/user/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoespressif8266/libraries/GDBStub/gdbcmds

debug_init_cmds =
    echo started debug_init_cmds!\n
    target remote $DEBUG_PORT
    echo finished debug_init_cmds!\n

debug_init_break = break loop

gdbcmds is based on the gdbcmds provided with GDBStus contains:

echo started gdbcmds!\n
set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 1
set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1

# Some GDBstub settings
set remote interrupt-on-connect on
set remote kill-packet off
set remote symbol-lookup-packet off

Direct using of xtensa-lx106-elf-gdb looks like:
