Bug#779029: scummvm: fails to work on armhf, ARM ASM is buggy [PATCH]

Package: scummvm
Version: 1.7.0+dfsg-1
Severity: grave
tags: patch

I have been trying to run old scummvm games on an old armhf system, but
it was crashing on load with a segfault.

I tried to debug the application and found that at all times, the
culprit are the arm asm optimizations. Disabling these optimizations
makes scummvm run properly on armhf, at least I was able to run both In
diana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Beneath a Steel Sky. I attach
a patch but it's only a suggested method, disabling arm optimizations
for all arm* platforms, in the case of Debian, both armel and armhf.

Regards
