A lot of work is needed to support arm assembler because Apple's gas
is outdated. Their build is w/o optimizations of the armv4l/
directory.

It'd be nice if there was somehow a way to (cross-)compile the armv4l/
directory on the Mac in some way, either by updating gas (haven't
tested) or by making the code somewhat more forgiving to early gas
version restrictions / bugs / etc.
