Fixes #8348.
Trying to work around clang's dodgy support for .arch by reverting to the external assembler didn't work out so well. Minux had a much better solution to encode the instructions we need as .word directives which avoids .arch altogether.
I've confirmed with gdb that this form produces the expected machine code
Dump of assembler code for function crosscall_arm1:
0x00000000 <+0>: push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, r10, r11, r12, lr}
0x00000004 <+4>: mov r4, r0
0x00000008 <+8>: mov r5, r1
0x0000000c <+12>: mov r0, r2
0x00000010 <+16>: blx r5
0x00000014 <+20>: blx r4
0x00000018 <+24>: pop {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, r10, r11, r12, pc}
There is another compilation failure that blocks building Go with clang on arm
# ../misc/cgo/test
# _/home/dfc/go/misc/cgo/test
/tmp/--407b12.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/--407b12.s:59: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `blx r0'
clang: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
FAIL _/home/dfc/go/misc/cgo/test [build failed]
I'll open a new issue for that
