I have checked it, frame_id_eq() return true, but frame_unwind_caller_id() and
ecs->event_thread->control.step_stack_frame_id are not outer_frame_id.

If frame_unwind_caller_id() can find a valid function address in register $ra,
the returned frame id id equal to 
ecs->event_thread->control.step_stack_frame_id 
and the vlaue is:
struct frame_id
{
  stack_addr=0xffffffff;
  code_addr=0x80001470;//The address of _start(entry point)
  special_addr=0x0;
  stack_addr_p=0x1;
  code_addr_p=0x1;
  special_addr_p=0x0;
  artificial_depth=0x0;
};


If can't find a valid function address in register $ra, GDB will print
============
warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0xfffffffc.

    GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0xfffffffc
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
    This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
    However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0xfffffffc for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set
heuristic-fence-post' command.
============

So，I think you are right，maybe something odd in the unwinder. But the unwinder
is foreign for me, Can you give some advices?

I think this is a compiler bug:
