Anders,

  There has been a recent fix to setjmp.S with regards to the __thumb2__ 
flag.  I would suggest trying the new file out.

  Otherwise, a few things to check.  First off, run the compiler with 
--print-multi-lib to verify the thumb variant is associated with the 
appropriate option.  Go to your newlib build directory and traverse to 
the thumb/newlib/libc/machine/arm directory and look at the Makefile.  
It should have a line in it which sets CC = ..... -mthumb

  Finally, verify that the compiler is actually setting the __thumb__ or 
__thumb2__ flags for newlib to check.
