[PATCH] ARM: Fix strcmp() for Thumb-1

Hi Sebastian,

This appears to be correct.  It seems however that there is a similar 
problem for the memchr function as well:

% readelf -A arm-rtems4.11/thumb/newlib/libc/machine/arm/lib_a-memchr.o
Attribute Section: aeabi
File Attributes
   Tag_CPU_name: "7-A"
   Tag_CPU_arch: v7
   Tag_CPU_arch_profile: Application
   Tag_ARM_ISA_use: Yes
   Tag_THUMB_ISA_use: Thumb-2

The patch works, although given the mail from Chenq I think that adding 
a comment would be helpful.  As in:

> +/* Do not use unified syntax for thumb1 multilibs - it results
 > +   in the assembler marking the object as requiring a thumb2 ISA.  */
> +#if !(defined (__thumb__) && !defined (__thumb2__))
>   .syntax         unified
> +#endif
