+Subject: [PATCH] configure: check for armv7ve variant
+
+OE passes -mcpu and -march via cmdline and if
+package tries to detect one of it own then it
+should be compatible otherwise, newer gcc7+ will
+error out
+
+Check for relevant preprocessor macro to determine
+armv7ve architecture
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
