I tried -mtune=arm920t some time ago once, but it didn't help.

I changed return [from Thumb routine] code, and it did the trick, now
busybox and couple of utilities seems to be working (yet I didn't run
uclibc tests):

diff --git a/libc/sysdeps/linux/arm/bits/arm_asm.h

-#else

-#endif

 #if defined(__ARM_ARCH_6M__)
 /* Force arm mode to flush out errors on M profile cores.  */


What do you think of such fix?
