Hi Michael, While it is true that some linkers support the conditional branch to PLT in Thumb mode, it is of very limited use, since it uses an R_ARM_THM_JUMP19 relocation and does not have a good range. If I switch my linker to ld.bfd for the original issue, it fails for another library with a "relocation truncated to fit" error message because the PLT entry is out of range of the conditional branch and cannot be handled by the R_ARM_THM_JUMP19 relocation.
It is cleaner and more stable (for all linkers) to convert the conditional branch to an unconditional one which uses an R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 relocation and has a range of 16MB.
