OK. Is done.

Tail calls occuring in ARM code will not be affected by the change.
Tail calls occuring in THUMB code will use BX for the call so that from my understanding, the mode switch will happen according to bit #0. As much as I know, when resolving the jump target relocation for function entry point lables, bit #0 will be correctly set for thumb functions. I will double check that next week.
