Where and how do you set ARM_THUMB_MODE? If I understand these things
correctly, the right check is not whether or not gmp is compiled in
thumb mode, but whether or not it's going to run on a machine where
thumb code might call it. Which I guess needs a configure option, since
it is difficult for configure to guess correctly and automatically.

What's the corresponding gcc flag to avoid using bx in compiler
generated code?
