After consulting with ARM engineers, it seems the most sensible approach to architectures pre-aarch64 is to support the two endian variants of ARMv7: `armv7l` for little-endian and `armv7b` for big-endian. These also correspond to the output of `uname -m` on Linux systems. This avoids the somewhat arbitrary armel/armhf/armv7 distinctions (partly by not accounting for architectures older than ARMv7).
