Even something as simple as the following (assembled and tested on a Pi) which I think should need no runtime support other than the kernel. It tried to run it, but segfaulted. Could it be that this is an Aarch64 *only* CPU? I haven't been able to find anything about this on the net.

Yes, the ThunderX doesn’t implement AArch32 (we have a couple of them).  They’re intended as a successor for Cavium’s multithreaded MIPS64 designs, so the intended customers don’t have any legacy ARM code or any legacy 32-bit code.
