Well actually that is the point.  By making the ADR/ADRL pseudo-ops
only set the bottom bit if the -mthumb-interwork option is used, we
will effectively be restoring the old behaviour of the assembler to
any project that does not use it.  So the ARM kernel in particular 
will get the old behaviour back, which is what I think is wanted.

So - any objections to the change ?  Anyone ?

Cheers
