Make sure you've told the compiler the correct version of ARM;  
different generations of the architecture have different restrictions  
of this sort.
Look at the .s file to see what instruction it's complaining about.   
(MUL had such a restriction in early versions of ARM, but I'd expect  
the message to read differently if that's it.)
If you've told the compiler the right version of ARM and you think the  
compiler is wrong, file a bug with reproducible example.
