I tried to use it to know if it saves some place on my RFS, but as Qt
has the same kind of problem with Thumb1, it didn't make a big
difference.
(my platform is a sam9g35, so ARMv5)
But if I continue to have spaces problem, I will reconsider using
thumb1, and maybe try to patch the Qt assembly to make it Thumb1
compliant instead of adding " -marm"

That may be a good idea since I may not be the only potential user :)
