FWIW, there are a couple of architectures that define archFamily = "arm":
| $ egrep -e 'archFamily.*arm' *.hs
| ARM.hs:archFamily = "arm"
| ARM11MP.hs:archFamily = "arm"
| ArmGem5.hs:archFamily = "arm"
| XScale.hs:archFamily = "arm"

So at least for them, hake should do the right thing. Without more details,
however, I can't tell you are experiencing a hake bug or not. Looking at those
other ARM archs (ArmGem5 is the more recent) might also be a good idea.

cheers,
Kornilios.
