This is a patch for an issue where the compiler was generating a conditional
branch in Thumb2, which was too far for b{cond} to handle.
This was originally reported at binutils:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24991
And then raised for GCC:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91816
As can be seen here:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0489c/Cihfddaf.html
the range of a 32-bit Thumb B{cond} is +/-1MB.
This is now checked for in arm.md and an unconditional branch is generated if
the jump would be greater than 1MB.
