The attached patch fixes an assebler bug processing Thumb-2 branches to
absolute addresses. We don't know how far away these really are, so if no
size suffix is specified we must assume they require a long branch. Currently
we end up with a narrow branch, which is almost never suficient. We also
segfault in some circumstances.
Tested on arm-none-eabi and arm-wrs-vxworks
