I've seen those unknown attribute warnings before, I don't think
they're anything to worry about.  I haven't tried running a self-hosted
build on any armv6 for a long time, it's possible there's something
ugly like a code-generation bug that happens when running native but
not on a cross build.  Things like that are pretty rare, though.
