The conclusion was that --enable-thumb2 just caused it to pass -mthumb in CFLAGS (and --disable-thumb2 to pass -marm), right? What should we do for classic ARM cores in thumb1 mode? There we afaik also want to use --enable-thumb2, but it could potentially break in future if the option is changed to do something more than this.

libnspr currently passes --enable-thumb2 if the CPU has thumb instructions. This option will pass -mthumb to the compiler. However, if an external multilib toolchain is used that has a thumb-specific variant (e.g. Sourcery), it will try to use that one. But we only copy a single variant to the sysroot, so the build will fail with: .../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory ... collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ../../config/rules.mk:303: recipe for target 'libnspr4.so' failed In order to fix this, only enable thumb2 when we are really using thumb2. Note that it is still necessary to pass this option, cfr. http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/d7323831372050e425a34f5104a46d8cbd6be214 We could have chosen to still enable thumb2 with the internal toolchain. However, that would mean we create a discrepancy between the result of building with the same (buildroot) toolchain when it is used as an internal one or as an external one. To avoid potentially surprising results, just stick to the option chosen for the rest of the rootfs.
