with the cross-compilation we use, this change would lead to picking the information of the host machine and not of the ARM target itself. Eventually something like detect_model_from_c_compiler from rpython/jit/backend/detect_cpu.py might be useful to check for the machine, which uses the (cross-)compiler to do the check.
