As said, -mshort support is only for the FreeMiNT kernel who has to support -mshort by definition because the TOS API is 16-bit.

I'll add that GNU/GCC 3 is suitable to build ATARI ST softwares.
GNU/GCC 4 is not, because it is too restrictive with its syntax,
but furthermore it doesn't implement 16bits libraries required
for ATARI ST softwares.

I don't want to loose ATARI ST compatibility, so I don't use it.

Thanks for your answers. The OS maintainers are making very strange
decisions breaking the backward compatibility with the ATARI ST !
Most of them probably never developed on the ATARI ST hardware :-(

Best regards,
