Comment (by erikd):

 Readig more from #2972, I see that all the comments about PowerPC being
 limited to 24 bit offsets for relative branch instructions should also
 apply to Arm. However, enabling `USE_CONTIGUOUS_MMAP` in `rts/linker.c`
 for `arm_HOST_ARCH` as well as `powerpc_HOST_ARCH` doesn't fix this issue.
