Research direction
The issue references a testsuite from a SoK paper (https://github.com/junxzm1990/x86 sok/tree/master/testsuite) and the paper itself. First, examine the testsuite structure and understand the binary formats and optimization options. Then, explore radare2's existing test infrastructure (likely in `test/` directory) to decide where to place the new binaries and how to integrate them into the test runner. Since there are no comments or linked PRs, consider reaching out to maintainers for guidance on preferred integration approach. The goal is to compare analysis results and improve them, so a script comparing output might be needed.
