Rich Felker 83340c7a58 make arm crt_arch.h compatible with thumb code generation
compilers targeting armv7 may be configured to produce thumb2 code
instead of arm code by default, and in the future we may wish to
support targets where only the thumb instruction set is available.

the changes made here avoid operating directly on the sp register,
which is not possible in thumb code, and address an issue with the way
the address of _DYNAMIC is computed.

previously, the relative address of _DYNAMIC was stored with an
additional offset of -8 versus the pc-relative add instruction, since
on arm the pc register evaluates to ".+8". in thumb code, it instead
evaluates to ".+4". both are two (normal-size) instructions beyond "."
in the current execution mode, so the numbered label 2 used in the
relative address expression is simply moved two instructions ahead to
be compatible with both instruction sets.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
