This is a known problem, but I'm not going to fix it. The difficulty is that
it will break object compatibility for a large number of users upgrading from
older versions of the compiler (the attributes will conflict) forcing them to
recompile everything (and in some cases that's not possible).
The attribute system used in the arm-elf configuration is very primitive and
not extensible, so it was entirely reworked as part of the ARM ABI
standardization effort.
Finally the arm-elf configuration is heading rapidly towards obsolescence so I
would strongly recommend all developers moving towards the arm-eabi port.
