With this change the arm platform can now be fully compiled with Clang.

Tested by comparing the output with GCC 4.8.2, and Clang 4.0, using a
variety of arches, big/little endianness, and arm/thumb mode to verify
the generated assembly output matches between GCC vs Clang with UAL, and
also GCC with UAL vs GCC with non-UAL, for all preprocessor code blocks.

The only difference found is an extra nop at the end of the function
when compiled with GCC using armv7-a/thumb/little-endian/-O2 compared to
Clang. The nop is not emitted when compiled in big-endian mode.
