Ah, I see. Does that go for v4t too? I can imagine cases where you
would want to say "select the v4T ISA but generate ARM code not Thumb".

Yes. PLD, for example, is only available in ARMv5E (not ARMv5) and this
will affect any code which uses __builtin_prefetch(). I don't think GCC
will ever open-code the saturating arithmetic instructions, but it does
expose the v5/v5e distinction through preprocessor macros and source
code might use that to select asm() statements which use those opcodes.

Does anybody really want the hardfloat abi on armv5? I guess it doesn't
hurt all that much to offer it, but anything that makes that monstrous
set of .inc files bigger seems like a bad thing.
