Remaining for what?  VFP support is only necessary if we want to run on
systems with VFP co-processors, which I believe aren't commercially
available yet.  If by "ATPS32", you mean 32-bit APCS, we've got that
already (-mapcs-32).

MASK_RETURN_ADDR needs to be changed to generate code to check what mode
the CPU is in at run-time and pick the correct mask appropriately.
sys/arch/arm/include/profile.h demonstrates how to do this, but it needs
to be converted to a form GCC can understand.
