On the question of documentation:
>From the GNU Info node for invoking gas:
Usually you do not need to use this `-Wa' mechanism, since many
compiler command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler
by the compiler.
Then the ARM specific section mentions -mtumb as a valid option.
It violates the principle of least astonishment that an option that is valid
for the driver and the driven program can't be passed directly to the driven
program.
-----
On the question of '.thumb':
Setting '.thumb' in the assembler file works for some files, but there are
occassions when the same .S file is compiled as either thumb or arm, depending
on the circumstance it will be used in.
-----
On the level of work:
That's a fine reason to defer the fix. I did enter the bug as a 'minor' after
all. ;)
