BUG W/PATCH - libgloss/arm/linux-syscalls0.S - wrongly assumes thumb mode.

Below is a patch to fix a build problem with Newlib 1.15.0.

Functionally - the problem is this: The macros that create various Linux
are written for THUMB mode only. Solution was to add some #if __thumb__
around the offending locations.

Caveat: I do not have an ARM-LINUX target to try this on, I can only guess
this was missed because most use glibc on arm-linux and do not use newlib
or perhaps it is because I'm setting up my own toolchain and I stumbled 
across it.

Thanks.
