This means that the compiler supports two multilibs.  One default options and
the other with the -mthumb option specified.  Note, no thumb-interwork multilib
support.

The arm-elf gcc compiler which was shipped as part of the Cygnus progressive
release
has a lot more multilibs, including thumb-interwork.  I suggest you contact the
gcc 
mailing list to see why thumb-interwork is not included in your particular
compiler.
