I don't see how this new logic makes sense at all. The goal is to use
the less-efficient code for the case where you're building as thumb
and thumb2 is not supported (i.e. limited to thumb1). That would be:

#if defined(__thumb2__) || !defined(__thumb__)
 	orr     r4, r3, r5,             lsl lr
#else
	lsl     r4, r5, lr
	orr     r4, r3, r4
#endif

Does that look right?

I'm trying to wrap up the 1.1.15 release right now so I don't think
these changes will make it in, but I want to finish addressing _all_
of the thumb/cortex-m compat issues soon, hopefully in the next
release cycle. Let's start a new thread figuring out what's still
needed.
