I was not aware of this test. I'll look into this.

*facepalm*

This is actually my mistake when I squashed my cortex-a5 file into a general
cortexa file. I meant to keep the -mtune in place. I started out using mcpu
before realizing mtune was also valid for cortex-a5.

I have a patch to revert that change / go back to -mtune. I will send it after
I rebuild for cortex-a5.

Sorry about that. It didn't come out because the build was happy with -mcpu=cortex-a5
