I am not sure that I am qualified to review this (my assembly knowledge
is not the best) but your commit title mentions an error when compiling
with clang. What is the exact error, what configuration generates it,
and what version of clang? We have done fairly decent testing for
32-bit ARM, I would like to know what we are missing.

Cheers,
Nathan
