Changing only .arm to .thumb in test2.S does not change the result.  I 
still have

    8220:       fa000015        blx     827c <hello1>
    8224:       fa000014        blx     827c <hello1>
    8228:       fa000014        blx     8280 <hello3>

As mentioned in my other reply, adding .thumb_func before the helloX 
definitions changed the result to make indirect calls through 
__helloX_from_arm.

Thanks,
