As far as I can see from your example, gdb did print the function
names.

You don't indicate what options were used when you compile.
When you compile without optimization, MicroBlaze stores
the previous frame pointer in the stack frame.  With -O1,
MicroBlaze does not save the frame pointer in the stack frame.

You can take a look at microblaze_analyze_prologue() in
gdb/microblaze-tdep.c.

The error is issued in get_prev_frame_1() in frame.c.
