I've just rebuilt DS scummvm here, and the standard ARM build (a
cleanish trunk) comes out to 1627712 bytes. If I enable thumb mode
during the build (and tweak various ARM routines to cope with being
called in thumb mode - will commit those fixes in a bit), the code
size drops to 1349696 bytes.

There will be a speed penalty of course, but hopefully we can tweak
the compile so that speed critical bits stay in ARM ?
