I think you make a valid point. I checked the stock Ubuntu arm
gcc which defaults to armv5t. Furthermore, the intend of the
patch is to fix the case when armv4 is passed explicitly, not when
none is passed (and no -mcpu). A discussion about what a sane
default is seems indeed like a topic on its own. Not changing
it in this patch seems therefore like the best thing to do.

I will therefore update the patch to leave the default untouched,
and change the comment instead to:

// If all else failed, return the most base CPU with thumb
// interworking LLVM supports

Any comments?
