We figured out that this is specific to our target. There were two things that
we had to do.
1) Enable apcs-frame option for gcc.
2) Change the program counter correction to 12 (instead of 8). This is machine
specific.

+                            (gdbarch, return_value) - 12;
           prologue_end = prologue_start + 64;  /* See above.  */
         }
     }

3) I think we need a comment in arm_scan_prologue, that one needs correction of
12 in some architectures for stack unwinding to work. Do we have any compiler
flags that we can use to incorporate this as a feature that the user can set
while compiling?
