The only major issue is if you want to build for Thumb2 - you have to manually
edit makefiles - because the full ARM cores support and startup files will
choke
the build process.
i.e. Building for Thumb2 with the freshly checked out subversion, when the
compiler gets to compiling rtl/embedded/
Is it really that big a deal?
I think the negatives outweigh the positives in the changes implied
here. Say what you want about the priciples about the instruction
sets(ARM and Thumb2), but they still share 95% of the backend code.
When you're dealing with lowlevel targets like embedded arm y
Digging some more around it today, came up with the following idea...
In the rtl/embedded folder - there is the "system" file for "ARM" - it is ALL
pascal - and compiles to either of Thumb2 or ARMV4 - but not both.
In that folder's Makefile.fpc, the units to be built are listed - the could be

I feel that M3 and friends might be worth investing in thumb support for
"embedded" devices. But I understand that the more relevant targets for
ARM-FPC seem to be Smartph
