arm-linux-ld doesn't create codes for arm-thumb interworking


It seems that arm-linux-ld doesn't create codes for interworking.

As an example, here are two programs:
 main.c for main function using arm instructions set.
 foo.c for sub function called by main using thumb instructions set.

  $ cat main.c
  int foo(int,int);
  int main(void){
    int i;
    i=thumbfunc(2,3);
  }

  $cat foo.c
  int thumbfnc(int x,int y){
    int i;
    i=x+y;
    return i;
  }

after compiling them with :
  $ arm-linux-gcc -c main.c -mthumb-interwork
  $ arm-linux-gcc -c foo.c -mthumb -mthumb-interwork 
  $ arm-linux-gcc main.o foo.o 
  /tools/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld: Warning: 
    /tools/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2/crtend.o does not support interworking, 
    whereas a.out does
  /tools/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld: Warning: 
    /tools/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2/../../../../arm-linux/lib/crtn.o does not support 
    interworking, whereas a.out does

I have a look at a.out with objdump and find there is no actual code 
for  __thumbfnc_from_arm.

I think this work should be done by arm-linux-ld.

------
  $ arm-linux-gcc -d a.out
