The 32 bit arm build that was supposed to work on both arm5 and arm6 won't run on systems without moving files around due to linking/naming clashes. So we're changing the arm6 build to use arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, which links against the expected libraries. At this point we're just going to drop support for arm5 as I don't think anyone is using it and it's starting to become obsolete. Fixes #1317

Arm5 was released in 2009 and is only used in very small embedded stuff these days, and not much of that. There are no ARM servers using it and even the small lab setups use newer CPUs. For example the oldest Raspberry-Pi, popular in small/home labs, used Arm-6. |

@lornasong Or did you want more explanation in the commit message? |

@eikenb - no need for more explanation in the commit message. Thanks for the information about Arm5! I just wanted to understand it a little bit better and had a hard time finding more information when searching. Helpful, thank you! |

Part of moving to use gnueabihf for arm6 build that I missed. See GH-1326 for the rest of it.
