dmalloc has some assembly that doesn't exist in thumb1 mode.
So, force arm mode for dmalloc.

Applied, thanks.

Are you actually using an ARMv4/ARMv5 Thumb system?

Maybe this is a configuration we should add to our autobuilders, since
it's currently not even build-tested.

Thanks,

Thomas

I tried to use it to know if it saves some place on my RFS, but as Qt
has the same kind of problem with Thumb1, it didn't make a big
difference.
(my platform is a sam9g35, so ARMv5)
But if I continue to have spaces problem, I will reconsider using
thumb1, and maybe try to patch the Qt assembly to make it Thumb1
compliant instead of adding " -marm"

That may be a good idea since I may not be the only potential user :)

Ok.

Indeed. We also have more autobuilder instances nowadays, so adding a
few more configurations should be fine.

Thanks,

However, I can't find the assembly that you refer to. And of course
this problem only becomes apparent at runtime.

Me neither. It builds fine here in thumb1 mode. Richard, what problem
did you see exactly?

Actually, it should lead to a build failure. So I really don't see
why this patch would be needed.

 It fails when the patch is not applied even on the most minimal
config. It succeeds with the patch applied.
