GNU C version 3.1 (arm-elf)
compiled by GNU C version 2.96 20000731 (RedHat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)

>Description:
The following simple file when compiled with

arm-elf-gcc -o test.Os.s -S -Os -mthumb test.c

produces code like:
ldr  r3, [r3, sp]

which is wrong for Thumb mode (sp can not be used in thumb mode)

gas then complains with "Error: lo register required"

-O2 and -O3 give the same result.

 
>How-To-Repeat:
arm-elf-gcc -o test.Os.s -S -Os test.c
or
arm-elf-gcc -o test.Os.o -c -Os test.c
