[GTK] Building fails in an armv5tel board

[Adrian Perez]

More precisely, the “configure” script claims that the C++ compiler
cannot be found, examining “configure.log” this can be observed:

configure:5761: g++ -c -march=pentium4 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse   conftest.cpp >&5
g++: error: unrecognized argument in option '-march=pentium4'
g++: note: valid arguments to '-march=' are: armv2 armv2a armv3 armv3m armv4 armv4t armv5 armv5e armv5t armv5te armv6 armv6-m armv6j armv6k armv6s-m armv6t2 armv6z armv6zk armv7 armv7-a armv7-m armv7-r armv7e-m ep9312 iwmmxt iwmmxt2 native
g++: error: unrecognized command line option '-msse2'
g++: error: unrecognized command line option '-mfpmath=sse'

Of course, passing those options does not make sense in ARM.

For reference, the board is a Dreamplug, which reports the following:

Would it be sufficient to match a string that begins with "arm-" or "armv"? In particular, would it be sufficient to match a string that begins with "armv" as opposed to {armv5, armv6, armv7}?

After thinking a bit more about this, I think you are right: it may
be better to go for the broader /^arm[v-]/ regexp here, so it won't
be needed in the future to edit this if some new ARM incarnation
happens to be reported e.g. as “armv8” (or whatever the version is).

Could the second version of the patch (which checks for "^arm[v-]")
be landed? Probably that's the best we can to get builds being done
in the broadest amount of ARM machines possible.
