ARM/Thumb tool chain

Good question.

There is no compelling reason to comment out the multilibs.  It saves
build and test time and reduces disk space requirements, but on the
other hand it gives rise to problems like this.

Note - the absence of a Thumb targeted libgcc.a should not be a great
problem since the linker will automatically generate calling
conversion stubs to switch between ARM and Thumb mode.

In order to generate a set of Thumb multilibs apply the patch below
and then rebuild everything.

Cheers
