I think I remember from discussions with Saleem that Windows only
supports code running in Thumb mode, so using "thumbv7" at the start
of the triple is probably a lot more likely to work.

That said, I have no idea why it's complaining about the Cortex-A53
CPU, that definitely supports ARM mode. It put it down to gremlins
producing random, non-helpful messages.

Cheers.
