Thanks - this is what I committed.

	* config.gcc (target_type_format_char): New. Document it. Set it for
        arm*-*-* .
	* configure.ac (gnu_unique_option): Use target_type_format_char in test.
        Comment rationale.
	* configure: Regenerate .

Is this something that can be considered for backporting to release
branches ? This patch technically doesn't fix a regression but brings
in line behaviour of the normal bootstrap for %gnu_unique_object ?

Ping - Is this ok to backport to the 4.7 and 4.6 branches ?

I'd say yes.

Thanks,
