Re: PATCH: ARMV7M support

The dependency work (_exit.c, avoiding initialise_monitor_handles) is
actually already independent of ARM V7M; those changes apply to all ARM
configurations.  I could break the patch apart to make that more
obvious, if necessary.

However, you are correct that non-ARMV7M targets could benefit from the
option not to make semihosting calls in crt0.o.  I can easily add a
separate #ifdef for that.

(If acceptance of this patch is contingent on converting newlib to use
libgloss for ARM, I may not get to it very quickly.  It's not that I
don't agree that it's a good thing to do; it's just that I don't have
time to do it right now.  I will still get to it, but not for a week or
two.  This isn't meant to pressure for acceptance, it's just FYI.)

Thanks,
