In ARM mode, passing -mtp=cp15 forces the use of an inline MRC system register read to move the thread pointer value into a register.
Currently, in Thumb2 mode, -mtp=cp15 is ignored, and a call to the __aeabi_read_tp helper is emitted instead.
This is inconsistent, and breaks the Linux/ARM build for Thumb2 targets, as the Linux kernel does not provide an implementation of __aeabi_read_tp,.
