 As pointed out in #10244 and Phab:D894, the fix we committed for this
 problem isn't 100% correct - from
 753b156dc6b0c38b106c390952750fb800bf27e7:

 {{{
 #elif arm_HOST_ARCH && defined(arm_HOST_ARCH_PRE_ARMv7)
     // TODO FIXME: This case probably isn't totally correct - just because
 we
     // use a pre-ARMv7 toolchain (e.g. to target an old Android device),
 doesn't
     // mean the binary won't run on a newer ARMv7 system - in which case
 it
     // needs a proper barrier. So we should rethink this
     //  - Reid
     __asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 }}}

 This is a reminder to fix this.
