AT91RM9200 and RTEMS

[Steven Johnson]

It would be nice if the interworking versions of the libraries were also 
built, because otherwise it is very difficult to build a mixed ARM-Thumb 
program.  Ie, build RTEMS using THUMB, but all the assembler code in 
RTEMS is still ARM.

This would be the easiest, and you could move the 32 bit code to faster 
memory (like a lot of ARM devices have internal).  But without 
interworking, you cant link

But this topic was covered earlier and apparently the version of GCC 
RTEMS uses is broken for Thumb and Interworking?? (I dont know that its 
broken for sure, its what I was told on this list.)
