FWIW: I don't mind getting it merged as is.

It improves situation for non-GPLv3 builds and if there is issue with
thumb, then it was there before as well, so returning it doesn't make
things worse.

My previous reply was just to show that building default qemuarm doesn't
show anything, because thumb isn't enabled and gmp even isn't one of the
recipes which are failing with thumb-1, maybe Khem meant some issues in
runtime I don't know about.
