This "mov pc,lr" instruction was caught by an automated scanner for potential
thumb interworking problems. It was spotted by ubuntu developers and discussed
at irc.freenode.net #ubuntu-arm a few days ago.
While this file is not used and thus has no impact in linux, suppressing the
alarm would be nice. Search in the Internet suggests that thumb may be used in
Windows CE systems too (I have no clue about ARM based windows systems
myself): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms937352.aspx
The fix would probably just require a trivial change "mov pc,lr" -> "bx lr".
Could somebody try this change in windows and check whether it would be ok?
