Use armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi when C is built with -march=armv7-a. The target uses the soft-float EABI with NEON disabled and permits unaligned word and halfword accesses, matching C on MMU-enabled ARMv7 kernels. A kernel that also contains an ARMv6K CPU is built with -march=armv6k and keeps the generic target. In the tested Raspberry Pi 400 configuration, Rust text grows by 1.9%. Six small benchmarks range from 10% shorter to 5% longer runtimes. Tested on a Raspberry Pi 400 (Cortex-A72, LPAE) with clang 22.1.8 and in QEMU virt (Cortex-A15) with the minimum tool versions. Rust modules load with the movw/movt relocations.
