+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: support cross compiling for 32-bit arm
+
+The CONF_TARGET_ARCH cross-compilation mapping enumerates aarch64,
+s390x, powerpc64, ppc64le, alpha, i386, mips, sparc64 and riscv64 but
+omits 32-bit arm. As a result, building with CROSS_COMPILE=arm-* (e.g.
+arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-) aborts at Makefile parse time with:
+
+    Makefile:75: *** The current Arch(arm) does not support cross compilation.  Stop.
+
+ARM is already a valid crash target (defs.h/configure.c), so map the
+normalized "arm" arch to CONF_TARGET_ARCH=ARM like every other arch.
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
