It is not clear what question you are asking here.

Ian has pointed out that you should be compiling your program with the 
-mthumb-interwork switch specified on the gcc command line.

Again this is not clear.  Do you mean that when the linker is creating 
the executable that it is inserting some ARM-encoded instructions into 
the output, or that it is somehow magically transforming your 
THUMB-encoded instructions into ARM-encoded instructions ?

Perhaps it would help if you could provide a *small* example program and 
 the command lines you use to compile it, as well as description of 
what is wrong with the resulting executable.
