Re: Bare metal ARM Cross compiler - aeabi auto-generated functions for cortex-m0 use wrong instruction set

How libgcc (and other GCC libraries) are compiled is defined by multilib flags.  It appears that the default multilib for the compiler that you built is not "-mcpu=cortex-m0" (probably, it's something ARMv4-ish).

For a quick fix try adding --with-arch=cortex-m0 to GCC configure line.
