No, you should match on just `arm*'.  "armv4l" happens to be the most common, 
but many others are possible.

This has been the case for some time.  It's to reinforce the idea that this is 
the Linux-based GNU system, or GNU/Linux.

Using -mstructure-size-boundary is something you need to do with care because, 
strictly, it's an ABI change.  If there's another way to fix the problem, that 
might be better.
