I might have got the wrong idea about architectures somewhere too,
The Acorn32bitDev pdf states that machines before RiscPC including
A7500 are 26bit only architecture armv2.
RiscPC 610 and newer are armv3and both 26bit and 32bit capable.
The 32bit SharedCLib must play a part too, maybe it wasn't possible on
pre RiscPC, I can't remember.

I read that (generic) gcc v9 has dropped support for armv2 and armv3, no
mention of armv4 but Armv5T 5TE 5TEJ remain supported. At the moment
(gcc 4.7.4) we could possibly target the early architectures and cpu's
additionly using -maps26 if necessary.
I imagine the DDE would have some flexibility for compatibility too.
