It has issues working with thumb2 as well. Another problem it creates is building \
on-device toolchain since gcc also depends on gmp and when you pin to older version \
of GMP, it starts to fail Thats why I suggested to use mini-gmp ( same but reduced \
gmp ) can clear of this situation since it will be a mini-gmp recipe and won?t \
interfere with toolchain.
