Indeed, -mcpu=cortex-m3 is already specified in the Makefile, otherwise the 
firmware won't work at all, as our defaults are set to -mcpu=cortex-a8, 
cortex-a9 and cortex-a15 based on the paltform.

And thanks for the heads-up! It looks like a slightly different issue, but 
seems to stem from the same core changes in gcc-4.9.1...
