Description
### Description
I was trying to build code with GCC and LTO enabled. I observe link time warnings
```
lto-wrapper: warning: Extra option to '-Xassembler': -mthumb, dropping all '-Xassembler' and '-Wa' options.
lto-wrapper: warning: using serial compilation of 2 LTRANS jobs
lto-wrapper: note: see the '-flto' option documentation for more information
```
I see that it is because of `ARCHOPTIMIZATION += -Wa,-mthumb` and `ARCHOPTIMIZATION += -Wa,-mimplicit-it=always` that were added by https://github.com/apache/nuttx/commit/9ab97df0a57 and https://github.com/apache/nuttx/commit/77aede7c87b
The https://github.com/apache/nuttx/commit/9ab97df0a57 has description from GCC 4.5.x and in later GCC versions I do not see description that requires explicit passing of `-mthumb` with `-Wa` option to assembler. Do we still target GCC 4.5.x support?
For https://github.com/apache/nuttx/commit/77aede7c87b I would like to reproduce an error if possible locally and check. I see that commit message references to ARM Clang, but `-Wa,-mimplicit-it=always` is passed without checking for `ifeq ($(CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_ARMCLANG),y)`, so I would to better understand the issue and a way to fix it.
Additionally to above I do not see that we use `-mthumb-interwork` option and I would like to evaluate if we can fix any of above issues with Thumb interworking.
