The (long) line for processing filter_ar_fast_q12_armv7.S
was about 19 lines back from the first
filter_ar_fast_q12_armv7.S error message in that make.log:
(copy/paste may have split the line into multiple below)

As I guessed the string "-mcpu=cortex-a7" does not appear in
the command.

But it does indicate that /usr/bin/cc is being used to get to
the assembler --which I did not guess. If I guessed right
about part of the rule.mk that processed the .S file then
the implication would be that: AS=/usr/bin/cc

So it might be that having ASFLAGS contain -mcpu=cortex-a7
might propagate through to the underlying assembler
processing in a way to allow the sbfx instructions by
telling it the type of cpu to target.
