Appears not:

root at cubox:~# gcc -O2 -o idiv idiv.c -Wa,-mcpu='cortex-a15+idiv' -marm
/tmp/ccSovg32.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccSovg32.s:32: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `udiv ip,r5,r4'
root at cubox:~# gcc -O2 -o idiv idiv.c -Wa,-mcpu='cortex-a15+idiv' -mthumb
/tmp/cchbT3EE.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cchbT3EE.s:36: Error: selected processor does not support Thumb mode `udiv r6,r5,r4'

Same without the +idiv.

Yes, that agrees with my dove.
