Re: Float ABI confusion for armv7

There's two changes you should look into:

(1) The -m32 for arm llvm change (which has been implicated for other
issues in other email threads):

    arm64 lib32: change clang to allow -m32 on arm64

    The FreeBSD driver support for clang tested explicitly for 32-bit
    Intel, MIPS, or PowerPC targets where /usr/lib32/libcrt1.o was
    present to decide whether -m32 should use /usr/lib32.  At jrtc27's
    suggestion, simply test for a 32-bit platform rather than adding
    arm to the list.  Upstreamed as

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/3450272fc281979388bb845a9fffb59b42cc2e7e
    Bump the freebsd version to force a bootstrap build.  This is one
    step in adding support for -m32 on arm64.

and (2) Some of my cleanup:

    Makefile.inc1: Remove redundant test for armv[67]

    If MACHINE is arm, then MACHINE_ARCH is going to be either armv6* or
    armv7*.

I suspect #1, but maybe #2 is implicated as well.  Despite looking like it
had an earlier
date, #2 landed later.
