I think so. I will give it a try later and see if I can confirm
that it's doing the right thing, but assuming that the -march=
setting is indeed ending up on the compiler command line then I
think the answer is that the patch is correct.

Yes, I think it's a useful test. The assembler knows what instructions
are allowed in each architecture, so this build test is sufficient to
confirm (for example) that no blx instructions have leaked into the
generic ARM assembly sources without being suitably protected.
