test-case

See the run_dump_test test-case patch in the attachment.  Note that the
type-specifiers for the symbol types are commented out; the code is derived
from mixed-lib.s but with function names swapped, calling arm from thumb and
thumb from arm.  The call from app_tfunc (in thumb mode) to lib_func2 (in arm
mode) doesn't get a stub with "todays" sources.  The expected test-case output
is observed by adding back the type specifiers causing a proper thumb-to-arm
stub being generated with the test passing.

The real-world code is somewhat sloppy hand-written assembly-code; no symbol
decorations, just .global where necessary, but which worked with a toolchain
using pre-2.19 binutils.
