[Openmcl-devel] trunk unstable. Linux ARM port identified as culprit.

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#ARM_cores>

offers a helpful chart which shows which ARM cores implement which
architecture revisions.  The Omap2 implements ARMv6, but not ARMv6T2;
if it's an "unhandled exception 4", that may be an unimplemented
instruction and the instruction may be a "movw" (which is both legal
and very useful on ARMv6T2 and later.)

If it's any consolation, I have an N810, too.

Until everyone who's interested memorizes that chart, this will likely
be very confusing.

(That WikiPedia page says that ~2,450,000,000 ARM cores were shipped in
2006; it neglects to mention that no two of them were alike.)
