this is not available before armv7 as thumb instruction (and it
has 32bit thumb encoding, so you replace two 16bit instructions
with a 32bit one.)
normally this asm is compiled in arm mode even if your toolchain
defaults to thumb (i'm not sure why), but if you select a cpu or
arch that only supports thumb then the assembler will try to use
thumb and fail e.g. on -march=armv6-m (but i'm not sure if musl
supports that compilation mode throughout)
