It looks like the primary problem is that cpu-endianness in target.scm
has no match for either "arm", which is what armhf reports (at least in
Debian), or "aarch64.*".

The patch here

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758463

fixes that, but may need to be adjusted to keep the "arm.*el" clause.

In any case, I wanted to see how we'd like to handle this upstream so we
can do something similar in Debian.

Thanks
