$ arm-linux-as -v -o /dev/null /dev/null
GNU assembler version 2.19.1 (arm-linux) using BFD version (GNU Binutils) 2.19.1
$ arm-linux-as -march=armv6 -mfloat-abi=soft -meabi=5 -march=armv7-a -o /dev/null t.s
$ arm-linux-as -march=armv6 -mfloat-abi=soft -meabi=5 -o /dev/null t.s
t.s: Assembler messages:
t.s:1: Error: selected processor does not support `ldrexb r7,[r6]'

So it looks like someone's changed the behaviour of the assembler so it's
no longer possible to override the -march= argument from the gcc frontend.

Maybe Will can shed some light on this?
