[llvm-dev] llvm-toolchain-3.8 on lower arm targets, specifically Debian armel and Raspbian.

[peter green via llvm-dev]

llvm-toolchain-3.8 seems to have problems on debian armel and raspbian.

On raspbian it builds but our armv7 contamination checker blocked it 
from entering the repo. Further investigation showed that "compiler-rt" 
was being built with -march=armv7 . I was able to remove the -march with 
some build-system hacker but then I got a failure on
projects/compiler-rt/lib/builtins/arm/sync_fetch_and_add_4.S

I traced this back to code in compiler-rt/lib/builtins/arm/sync-ops.h . 
The comments talk about both arm mode and thumb2 mode code but I only 
actually see thumb2 code in the file. I'm kinda stuck here.

I expect this would be a problem for armel too (though it may go 
unnoticed due to the fact the armel autobuilders now run on armv7 
hardware and afaict Debian armel unlike raspbian doesn't have any 
contamination checking in place) but the build doesn't even get that 
far. It fails earlier with.
