Re: ARM arch: unknown asm insn "mrc" in v5T_semantics()

In general, I'm pretty uncomfortable with running the stub code in thumb
mode. For most ARM CPUs, the cache flushes done in the stub use co-proc
insns not available in thumb mode. There are also those CPUs with h/w
breakpoint/watchpoint support which require the stub to use non-thumb
insns to manipulate.

Would it be possible to provide macros for switching to ARM mode and back for these cases? I would be more comfortable with that then, say, compile certain files without -mthumb and enable thumb interworking. How do you do it now? Do you use thumb code at all?
