The library uses the hypervisor instruction HVC, which is only
available on ARMv7-A with Hypervisor extensions. According to [1],
this is limited to Cortex-A7 and A15.
In addition the build unconditionally passes -marm so it also needs
ARM instructions to be available, but that is already implied by
the CPU selection.
Implicitly fixes

though it is still not clear why ld doesn't accept the -Ttext=...
option there.
