I doubt, that there will be any armv7+ based system using this chip,
since it's already a bottle neck on the slow Freerunner. I just
tried to find out if there are any successor chips of the company,
but their homepage [0] expired in 2009. I couldn't find any newer
information about the company, it may have died.

I suggest to build for armel only. In the unlikely case, that
somebody has an armv7+ based system with this chip he can just
report a bug.
