The older version of gcc produces code e.g.:

arm-elf-gcc-3.4.4 -g -Os -fPIC -mthumb -mlittle-endian -mapcs \
      -march=armv4t -mcallee-super-interworking \
      -c progWord.c -o 3_4_4_thumb.o

3_4_4_thumb.o:     file format elf32-littlearm

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <progWord>:
   0:	e38fc001 	orr	ip, pc, #1	; 0x1
   4:	e12fff1c 	bx	ip

00000008 <.real_start_ofprogWord>:
   8:	b570      	push	{r4, r5, r6, lr}
   .
   register r10 (sl) never been used
   so it is neither pushed nor poped
   .
  52:	2000      	movs	r0, #0
  54:	bc70      	pop	{r4, r5, r6}
  56:	bc02      	pop	{r1}
  58:	4708      	bx	r1

The newer version generats the code

arm-elf-gcc-4.0.1 -g -Os -fPIC -mthumb -mlittle-endian -mapcs \
      -march=armv4t -mcallee-super-interworking \
      -c progWord.c -o 4_0_1_thumb.o

4_0_1_thumb.o:     file format elf32-littlearm

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <progWord>:
   0:	e38fc001 	orr	ip, pc, #1	; 0x1
   4:	e12fff1c 	bx	ip

00000008 <.real_start_ofprogWord>:
   8:	b570      	push	{r4, r5, r6, lr}
   a:	4656      	mov	r6, sl
   c:	b440      	push	{r6}
   .
   register r10 (sl) never been used
   .
  56:	2000      	movs	r0, #0
  58:	bc04      	pop	{r2}
  5a:	4692      	mov	sl, r2
  5c:	bc70      	pop	{r4, r5, r6}
  5e:	bc02      	pop	{r1}
  60:	4708      	bx	r1

The register sl isn't used within the function so push and pop of this not what
I'm expecting if switch -Os is given.
