[patch] R_ARM_REL32 and Thumb functions.


The attached patch makes the R_ARM_REL32 relocation set the low bit of the 
value when the relocated symbol is a Thumb function, as required by the ARM 
EABI.

I don't know if the current behavior is considered a bug or a feature for 
pre-EABI objects. For now I'm assuming bug, and making the change 
unconditionally. I can preserver the old behavior if anything depends on it.

A slight complication is that gas will try and fold relative expressions at 
assembly time. This folding is done in generic code, so gets the value wrong. 
e.g.

.thumb_func
foo:
.word foo - .

Will be folded to zero by gas/expr.c:expr.  I've [ab]used md_optimize_expr to 
prevent this happening.

Initially I disabled the folding if either symbol was a Thumb function. 
However this ends up breaking the explicit cfi directives in libgcc, so I've 
only disabled the folding when the first symbol is a Thumb function.

Tested with cross to arm-eabi.
Ok?
