Comment:

 Good news is that 7.10.2 is much better on Arm than 7.10.1 or 7.8.4. I
 also expect 7.10.3 and 8.0.1 to be better again.

 During debugging #10375 I found two serious problem with the interaction
 between Arm and Thumb2 code. Ghc 7.10.3 and 8.0 will both force all code
 to be `armv6-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` which should fix a lot of the
 problems like this one.
