I see.  "nexti" works by internally:

 #1 - single-stepping.
 #2 - gdb's frame unwinder notices a new frame has been entered.
 #3 - gdb figures out where the function will return to (unwinds the PC),
   and sets a breakpoint at the return location.
 #4 - let's the program run until that breakpoint is hit.

I'd guess that #3 is failing for you, due to missing unwind/debug info.
Try "stepi", and then "up" once.  Does the PC point at where you'd expect 
the bl/blx would return to?
