Hi Zhao. Thanks for your prompt response.

I see. I'll include fix for this issue into v1.6.1.
But I'm waiting for bug reports from other archs a few more weeks.
By the way,

it looks that the commit c975008e61121ef8785622c3bc26964da8fe0deb of crash utility
has the condition MEMBER_EXISTS("pt_regs", "stackframe").
