I have been playing around with buildroot and musl with x86_64 and arm (well thumb2 for an arm7 with soft floats). The x86_64 builds work very well with buildroot but I am having a bit of a problem replacing an uClibc build with musl when I have enabled thumb2 instructions. I have checked the documentation and I cannot find anything specific about thumb2 either working or not working, so therefore I will ask the list.

src/dirent/readdir_r.c:29:28: error: redefinition of 'readdir_r'

{standard input}: Assembler messages:

{standard input}:36: Error: thumb conditional instruction should be in IT block -- `strexeq r1,r0,[r2]'

{standard input}:37: Error: thumb conditional instruction should be in IT block -- `teqeq r1,#1'

You can ignore the first error. That might be some gcc issue, but it would appear that the syscall is using arm instructions in arch/arm/atomic.h. Does anyone know if thumb2 is going to be supported?
