Use -Cparmv7a if you use a current snapshot.

This is a bug of FPC that when compiling for armv7, it uses armv7a
instructions anyway, which has been exposed only recently.

Previously, when using -Cparmv7 it actually passed -march=armv7-a to the
assembler, which made it work. Previously, in case of using -Cparmv7a it
passed no march, which resulted in different assembler issues.

That's why previously I told you to use -Cparmv7 (it did not work with
-Cparmv7a); but this has changed.

Sorry for the confusion,

Thomas
