The ARMv7-M is affected by this.

With -O2 the assembler doesn't see the offending machine instructions, 
they are optimized away. See the useless local variables in 
rtems_debugger_target_set_vectors().

I just removed the useless assignment to local variables in 
rtems_debugger_target_set_vectors() and expanded the scope of the 
ARM_CP15 block. There is no functional change.
