+For the ARM architecture, gems with a platform of "arm-linux" should run on a
+reasonable set of ARM CPUs and not depend on instructions present on a limited
+subset of the architecture. For example, the binary should run on platforms
+armv5, armv6hf, armv6l, armv7, etc. If you use the "arm-linux" platform
