I disagree. "armv7l" is created specifically by Linux appending a
little-endian 'l' to an "armv7" base. It's much less common (because

"armv6l", "armv6b" and probably "armv8" equivalents too if you ran a
32-bit kernel there. Adding random aliasing on an ad-hoc basis doesn't
scale or represent what's really going on.
