   Nope.  Making the request for DA2.0 marks the .o file as PA2.0.  Since calls 
in DA2.0 use the PA2.0 BLL instruction, the only case where you might "get lucky" 
would have been in .o files with no calls - not a large enough class to bother
including the logic to set the few .o files that fit that class to PA1.1 instead.
