So how does that work for different CPU types? I'm currently trying to port B2G 
to the HTC Wildfire which has an armv6 CPU. As far as I can see, the Gecko 
config happily ignores that and tries to compile for armv7. Even if that build 
would finish (it fails at some linking right now), the resulting binary would 
just not run on the device. What's the recommended approach in this case?
