the asm code in musl does not support thumb1,
but you can compile everything else with thumb1
(the compiler does not pass -mthumb to the assembler
by default so all asm code will be in arm mode)

so with the changed condition the build succeeds
with -mthumb -march=armv5t, but the resulting libc
will not be competely thumb code, i think that's
an improvement.
