mips16 and nomips16

[reed kotler]

I'm not understanding why mips16 and nomips16 are not simple inheritable 
attributes.

i..e you should be able to say:

void foo();
void __attribute((nomips16)) foo();


or

void goo();
void __attribute((mips16)) goo();

There does not seem to be any other cases in gcc where this would not be 
allowed.

Tia.
